What is the name of your state? Michigan
I am a current resident at an apartment complex. Mid-December, I discovered water damage on the floor of my bedroom closet. Upon removing all items from closet, I discovered mold growing on the wall to the exterior of said closet. My landlord was informed, and it was determined that there was a crack in the foundation that caused the water leak. This discovery was made about 3 weeks ago, but with the extent of damage to personal property, and the mold growing, it is evident the problem had been there for some time. I expressed to my landlord the concerns about exposure to mold, and that I felt there is mold growing behind the wall itself. The landlord removed the carpeting and washed down the wall. It was approximately 8-10 days before the crack in the exterior wall was "fixed" from the outside of the building. Prior to fixing, it rained and more water/mold was produced, which the landlord again "cleaned." Recently, it appears that mold is again growing along the base of the wall. I advised the landlord, and they came in and "cleaned" the wall again. However, they did not pull the carpet back and therefore missed a large portion of the mold to be cleaned. I have written documentation from that stating the mold has been taken care of the 2nd time, which obviously it is not. I have 3 months remaining on my lease. I will be moving from this residence when my lease expires. I have requested the tenant provide in writing from the Health Inspector, that the area is mold free. I have given the landlord 3 business days to supply this documentation. Essentially, if this documentation can not be provided within this time frame,what recourse do I have from that point ? Would this be a case for Constructive Eviction on my part ? Would getting documentation from my physician assist in my claim ? I would like to be able to terminate my remaining time on my current lease, and move immediately from this residence.
