Mold Nightmare
When i first moved in i was very excited and impressed at how great their customer service was. I was living in a 2 bed 1.5 bath. Things started falling apart once we moved in. The handle off the fridge, the blinds kept falling off, and our washer kept flooding. The bathroom wasn't clean from the start but you know i just decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I had a 1 lease there and during my year lease i got diagnosed with Lyme Disease and i notified the manager and she told her... staff. The main thing with that is i cannot be around chemicals mold etc. in July 2019 my roommate and I noticed mold growing in the bathtub so we called management and they came up and checked it out they looked at it for 2 seconds and said "nope that's not mold" and caulked over it. It being my first apartment I thought I could trust them as I am just that kind of person. Then doing more research with my Lyme and mold, mold can be detrimental with Lyme patients but then came to find out mold is not good for anyone and I started reading mold toxicity symptoms and they matched up to mine. So i decided to take it into my own hands and hired a professional. I had an air quality test done in 3 parts of my home and swabs as well. A couple day's later high levels of mold and specifically penicillin, aspergillus, cladosporium came back. I also got a second opinion and he agreed about all the mold and he said if you were to knock these walls down there would be mold everywhere. My Lyme doctor right away wrote me a letter saying i could not live there even a normal healthy person could not live there because mold isn't safe. The mold company suggested I get out as soon as possible. Right away I turned in the report to management and they asked why I didn't have them hire someone even though they denied it was mold from the beginning. They have a closet full of the hvac system that is locked which is not normal for most apartments and come to find out there was water stains all over in there and two of the professional mold guys confirmed it was mold. The only reason they broke the lease was because of my doctors note but the manager was very confrontational regarding the issue. I assumed after we moved out there would be remediation but Came to find out right after we moved out they were showing the apartment. Since i moved out i have stopped running into the walls, inflammation in my face and body has gone down, my cough is gone, and my mental capacity is better than it was.
