You need just to be sure that you take a copy of the letter you got back stating the information on the mold. You also need to send the landlord a certified letter stating that he needs to fix the problem ASAP because it is causing you and the children to be sick. That your child has asma. Keep a copt of that certified copy. You can also give them a thirty day notice even with a lease if they refuse to fix the problem,that is why this is so imporant that you show the court that you have done everything a tenant can do to resolve the problem. you can also ask for the 30.00 dollars that you had to pay for the test. By the way that was a very smart move you made doing that.
