like e coli the amounts were very high. they deny it, but they knew about the the water problem which was terrible i found ot i was basically living on top of a sewer!!! for 2 years!!! one of their workers left the gate open and one of my dogs ran away i really don't believe that's what happened that's not how my dog is. he would of try to protect the property from any strangers (he is a boxer/shepperd) the house is totally out of code i have a 3 yr old and a hadicapp brother + 3 other kids they seem ok but with the mold and e coli +++ i think they are affaid that they might have gotten sick or that we eill sue them now i don't have much money left and can't keep on paying so much money for that many people in a hotel they offer me $5000 if i sign a paper releasing them from any liability and future lawsuits my wife is not on the lease but they want her to sign too. i don't think the document is notarized is it legal will it still be consider legal in court if something happends later on god hope not any medical problems? i am desperate need help!!!
