When I give an opinion to an OP, and they don't want to hear the truth, they always say they will come back and tell me what happen in court. I have yet to this day seen anyone come back. Guess they lost. Who would have guessed?
Isis, I can't wait 6 years! I won't be able to sleep.
Congrats! Some of these LLs need to be taught a lesson.As an update... the home was condemned. Won the case for retaliatory eviction as well as didn't have to pay any further rent due to the place not fit for habitability.
I have a lawyer, who doesn't charge me a cent, taking this to court further to sue for damages due to illnesses I have sustained because of mold.
For all others out there with slumlords, be sure to read the laws of your state and push and push until you get an understanding lawyer who cares about you and YOUR civil rights.
Oh I will update when I win the mold case against him. I wouldn't be surprised if they settle!
Yea, even if you have to imagine one.Congrats! Some of these LLs need to be taught a lesson.
A lesson in what? Lying?Congrats! Some of these LLs need to be taught a lesson.
Here's some infor that might seem real interesting for you. Now report back again after you win this case also.As an update... the home was condemned. Won the case for retaliatory eviction as well as didn't have to pay any further rent due to the place not fit for habitability.

I realize this post is old, but I have to ask: how on terra firma were you able to come to THAT conclusion?!First, a doctor cannot confirm that your "allergic sinusitis" in the ER, was caused by mold. Sorry, no money here.
Quite true. It's up to local and state health departments to do so.There are no Federal laws that set limits or standards ...
Searcher is correct. Er docs will not do allergy testing. They require special kits and are not normally stocked by the Ed. Docs will do a blood or bronchial culture and send it to the lab. Fungal cultures take weeks to months to identify. I dentification is based on culture morphology and growth characteristics.I realize this post is old, but I have to ask: how on terra firma were you able to come to THAT conclusion?!
Physicians who specialize in infectious diseases, allergies, occupational health, and pulmonary diseases/disorders most certainly can confirm such a case. And any environmental lab can certainly test for the presence of mold, especially but not limited to "black mold" (aka Strachybotrys chartarum).
However, as the OP may have discovered, there is no established threshold as per toxicity.
ERs aren't equipped for MANY situations. Sending cultures out is common. Not an exception.Searcher is correct. Er docs will not do allergy testing. They require special kits and are not normally stocked by the Ed. Docs will do a blood or bronchial culture and send it to the lab.
If done on the "cheap," yes. Current techniques and protocols? No. You can have a turnaround in as little as two days. The largest obstacle being getting said sample to the facility/lab quickly.Fungal cultures take weeks to months to identify. I dentification is based on culture morphology and growth characteristics.
