What to do if my husband has been tested positive for mold exposure?
He now has a stomach disease caused from the mold. My landlord lost his house due to foreclosure and we just found out that the house is now condemned that we lived at for 5 years. I told my landlord about it several times and took pictures of the mold and uploaded it to a CD and showed him. After reviewing the photo’s he dismissed it as not being a problem. We took his word for it and just kept repainting and wiping it down. When he came to check on the heater we brought to his attention again because we were tired of repainting. He also dismissed the issue. I don’t have any written proof do I still have a case?

I suggest that you consult with a personal injury attorney about the matter that you have written about to see if you have a factual and legal basis for bringing an action against the former landlord. Possibly there may have been a policy of insurance for the mold claim that you might be able to bring.
