My kids and I were exposed to toxic mold in an apartment we
were living in, in Houston. The apartment landlord was
going to transfer us to another unit, however, the managing
co. stated I had to pay a $300 transfer fee to move. Short
version samples of the sheet rock removed was tested by a
lab and the mold found was stachybotris and ?. Medical
records state short term memory loss, headaches and
children illnesses were do to exposure of toxic mold. It
took a month after moving out for my kids to rid themselves
of diherria, vomitting, and nausea and headaches, for
myself it was three months after moving out and treatment
as well as disposal of clothes, furniture, etc. For two
and half months the apartments held false claims against me
and therefore, prevented me from finding some where to
live, until I continued notating activities within and at
the unit did they decide to waive all claims and refund my
deposit in return for my promise to not hold them liable
for further damages. I turned the offer down, I don't feel
they should get off that easy after what we went through.
I posted this here as well as other places because the
attorneys I've spoken to are not concerned about righting
the wrong but rather lining their pockets. I've put
together a demand letter and plan to file a lawsuit in 45
days I need a voice that will be heard (an attorney) rather
than my own in court. Sorry for the long message.
