still immaterial to the fact that the tenant notified the landlord and the landlord knew of the potential for mold from prior flooding, lack of inspections by landlord, and failure to properly repair, no matter if it was ten years ago. The landlord had constructive knowledge of any mold condition before and after. If a tenant does report a habitable condition to the authorities and the landlord evicts, that is retaliation which will be more expensive than the original repair would cost. There are so many things wrong with the letter, that a judge would have no reason than to believe that it was a poor attempt to prevent the tenant from exercising their rights to a habitable rental, and give cause for tenant to receive damages. Why make a mountain out of a mole hill?
