I am a mother of three small children and we moved into this home in georgia about 2 years ago with my boyfriend who has been here 7 years.Since we moved in I noticed black mold growing in every room.I have worked constantly trying to "remove" the problem.Last year we had a leaking roof and that only made the problem worse we informed the landlord of the leaking roof and after about a month he fixed the roof but when I told him about the mold problem he told me it is not his problem that he makes the rent so cheap that we can afford to fix the stuff.Now because of the mold,my 6 year old has severe nose bleeds,I have female health issues,I am suffering with dizziness,fatigue,hair loss and memory loss,my boyfriend has heart palpations,irregular heart beat,we are all sick all the time with what thought to be the flu.I have called our local health department and CDC,The EPA and even the code enforcement and no one will help me they tell me there is nothing they can do because it is a private residents I need to know what I can do to (1)make the landlord clean this up or (2)get him to reimburse us for our pain and suffering and health related issues due to living in a uninhabitable environment.
