I live in a very small town, we don't have a health department.
Maybe I'll call town hall tomorrow and see if they know of the local
equivalent.
I'm afraid to do anything to piss the landlords off, i dont want to be
evicted, or have my rent raised or something.
i have heard too many horror stories about this sort of thing, and the laws
favour landlords, not tenants.
i wish there was a free service that could come, tell me in writing there is
mold, then i could go to the landlord, but they are totally downplaying
everything.
