Hello, My fiance, myself and our 4 children moved into a townhouse in St Mary’s County, on October 1st 2009 and did not know the roof was leaking until living there less then a week. We immediately called the landlord and this is what he did/said (this will really get you) he took MY car washing bucket in the attic and placed it under the water leak (once it fills up there is water everywhere again) I told him I could fix the roof and he could just deduct it from rent, he said; no he would have a roofing company come and do it. We have since had very bad rain and snow. It is now January 12, 2010 and there is BLACK MOLD in the attic all my children are sick with runny nose’s, coughing, and vomiting. I do not know who to contact? don’t know what to do and this problem was in the attic before we moved in and he was very much aware of it. can you please advise as to what we should do or whom to contact to inspect. Children’s ages are: 8, 3, and twins 23 months old.
Thank you, for any and all help you can provide.

We moved out of the townhouse on 07-2009. Landlord did give our deposit back with interest after arguing with her about the %. We gave her a letter stating we were moving due to living conditions and all we did as tenants to repair and maintain her home. Now she is selling the house for 199,000! Who ever purchases this townhome is going to become very ill! The mold is horrible!

Dear Deborah:

We rented a townhome also and our landlord did not repair a plumbing nightmare and it caused major leakage throughout our home on three floors. We are very ill now, become permanently disabled and it has shortened and compromised our life span. Before this mold, we were healthy and active. Now we are in motorized wheelchairs, suffering from so many problems due to the awful living condition of mold that we endured for months. We had children also who suffer from the aftermath. If you’d like to leave your email address in a reply, we’d love to talk with you?

Hi,I family have been renting a townhouse in Mt.Airy MD for 7 years. We have had a serious water problem in one of the bathrooms. The lalndlord was aware of a issue when we moved in. She just keeps having us fix it. We even had to paint over the water stains. And do all the patch work on the ceiing. I have Emphasyma and RA. The landlord knows about my condition. Now one of my daughters has a dry cough. I am looking for a little guidance at this point! My husband fears that she will make us move or we wont find housing by June when our lease is up.
