Ok it's true but wanted to also make sure people read this. I live in an older what seems to be nice building in Miami. It is infested with mold and this is common knowledge to everyone but me when I signed my lease two years ago. I have been getting sicker and sicker since I moved in. So I had a doctor perform a mold test of my blood in August. The result was that I have a significant mold infection throughout my entire body. I told my landlord this in August 2022 and she told me she would fix it after the bathtub leak was fixed that a neighbor below complained about. Yes, really. Then I got my condo professionally tested by a licensed mold tester. The result was that the entire condo is infested. I sent the results to my landlord, and she threatened to evict me through her attorney. Yup, she is a little nuts. She still has not even attempted to remediate her unit. She is not doing this, I believe, because the entire building is so mold infested that remediating one unit would not have much effect. And the title is true, my puppy passed away November 5 when she just stopped breathing from the same lung infection I have. I want to file a police report about that to document it. Good idea? Obviously I need to move and am starting that process but it is a complicated process. My landlord, through her inaction, is essentially refusing to remediate her unit. I am having a hard time getting an attorney to take this case as I believe there are many frivolous mold cases from individuals much less injured than I have been.
