Re: Help - tenant wants to sue over mold!? by Single Mom (Florida (FL)) on April 12, 2016 @08:12

I would be ok with my Landlord making the repairs. I told him about the mold in my house and he has done nothing. The maintenance man came out and told me the mold has always been there. He said he warned the Landlord about it 5 years ago and the Landlord did nothing then and is doing nothing now. I went to the doctor with my three children yesterday and we are all sick from it. I cant afford to move. I am a single Mom and I just got out of a horrible marriage. I have a restraining order against my ex husband. I put a lot of money into my divorce and now that my savings is bone dry trying to move or I was told get a hotel room and withold rent thats not something I can afford. I also just had to spend 150 for our copays yesterday. I need help. I have been here for about a year. My Landlord lives in another state and I am a month ahead on my rent. I just deposit the rent into his bamk account every month. I also have told him about the stove that only one burner works now and he said for me to buy a new one and he would reimburse me. Then my faucet busted and I bought a new one myself from lowes all together came to 87.09 and installed it myself. I am tired of making repairs on my own. It says in my lease he will do the repairs and pay for them. I could understand if the stove was mine but it was here in the first place. I am starting to hate my slum lord. I called him 6 months ago and told him I would be 2 days late on rent. It was because my bank account was hacked by some jerk in CA so he started yelling like a child. I told him to stop because I divorced my ex husband because of treatment similar to this and I hung up. Paid my rent only one day late and never heard from him since. Im just done with men acting like they rule the world. What should I do about my slum lord.
