What is the name of your state? IL
Hello. Keep your sarcasm in check. PLEASE>
I live with 5 sons, who are teens. We LIVE in a housing authority owned home.
We have a BIG mold problem, with the housing aware of it. Has been for 2 years and does nothing . The house needs new windows, roof to stop mold growth.
I feel sick alot. My kids seem to act silly and hyper. Sometimes headaches.
I dont move as I dont want to be homeless or in a homeless shelter. I am trapped here with potential toxic mold. My kids and I want to get tested.
Where can
A) I get someone to come test the mold
B) Does the housing have to move us to a safe home. Or expenses incurred at a hotel while the problem is being fixed. The walls inside are surely covered in mold
C) Can I sue them if I am sick, my boys are sick. HOUSING KNOWS ABOUT MOLD PROBLEM FOR 2 YEARS>
D) Can I make them put us in another home, and should I have somone (at my expense) come test the mold, test the air quality. Housing wont do it.
E) Yeah, I know I am stupid. But better to live here than NOWHERE> I cant afford any house over 400 a month. Period. No way Not with 5 kids and me.
F) What are my EXACT rights?
Please no smart comments or slams just for being poor and living in housing. Thats what its for.
I want help. I need help and our health and minds are at risk. This house is a nice home, in a nice neighborhood. It is worth staying at, if possible. All I know is I may be killing us by living here. Is the HOUSING AUTH> responsible for our home to be safe, and sanitary. Mold is everywhere. I kill it, it grows back. We have battled it for 2 years. I am sick of it. Please advise me of our rights.
