62. Your Landlord already defrauded you.They broke the lease.Uninhabitable domicile...

Ok! 9.a.m. Monday morning you get on the phone and find a Woman that practices law in your neck of the woods.
I say find a female attorney because I find they always get better results than their male counterparts.My personal Attorney is a woman.
I own 10 apartment buildings (200 units) here in Seattle and I would eat your landlord for lunch and empty his wallet on the way out the door.

You have been damaged and that damage is actionable.Especially since they knowingly rented you a toxic waste dump and charged you money to live in it.My suspicion is that what happened to you here is endemic in all of their rentals.
They need to be taken to task publicly for their lousy behavior with the strongest punitive penalties possible.All the rest of their tenants need you to get the ball rolling.I bet all of this will form a huge snowball if other tenants come forward and relate their substandard maintenance experiences.

Stachybotris (black mold) is nothing to mess with.It is extremely toxic a real good sign of neglect for water issues.There is also a whole host of other mold and bacteria that grows along side it that you will be unaware of because you can't see it.You just feel sick all the time.

They don't care about you or any of the rest of their clients or they wouldn't allow this to happen to you.

Good luck to you,I am sorry to see this is happening to you...
get on the horn,do it immediately.
