It seems that I probably have a mold problem in my apartment. it's been flooded out 5X since I moved in here about 2 years ago. I've contacted the Frederick County Health Department, The Maryland State Health Department, and the regional representative of the EPA. Every time, I get a response to contact the agencies that I already have about this problem. I've gotten to the point of being beyond frustrated and angry about this. Hopefully, one of the outlets I've contacted will get back to me and take this seriously.  If I can embarrass one of this agencies to do their job by exposing them to the media, I'll feel I have won.

step 1, document every bit of communication you've had with the apartment, as well as any response they've had, whether it be email messages, service visits, repainting, etc.

step 2, contact an attorney to get some advice. You may need to pay for an inspection up front, but if you have professional inspection stating there is a problem  and the landlord doesn't address, you may be able to break lease or pursue other avenues. If you do see the attorney, be sure to discuss paying your rent to an escrow account until the issue is resolved. Sometimes, all it takes is for the same photos you've been sending to them to be sent on legal letterhead to get a response.

Good luck, and hopefully everything is resolved quickly and without much hassle.

I was going to randomly ask someone that took this place too seriously to put me over the hump.  I’m super glad I didn’t have to reply to Bullseye “hey, bro, do me a solid and put me to 3?”

Everyone plus one HB for being a cool guy.  He farts, rep him!

man, if only we still had -1's, I could make it my mission to torment you for eternity

BRB, rec'ing every post of yours until you get to 398...just to see if you get anxious about the 399th
