I'm looking at breaking my lease and moving but want my deposit back. I am also thinking of with holding any further rent payments until he replaces things and cleans it up.
Yeah, good luck with that. Tenants have a very difficult time prevailing over landlords. Landlord has a signed contract. What you have is what you say is mold.

As a property owner with tenants, mold is not something you want to sweep under the rug if it turns out to be toxic.
OP really needs to start by sending a certified letter stating his concerns. Until then it is his word against the landlords.

The mold is is both bathrooms under the sinks, in the hvac system, and around window frames upstairs and down. This house flooded 2 years ago when hurricane Isaac hit. I wasn't living here then. The landlord says it ONLY flooded 2 feet and he replaced 4 feet of all sheet rock. I talked to the landlord weeks ago after discovering it under the dunks first and then elsewhere. He sent a couple of " handymen " to check it out . They confirmed it was mold and left . The landlord hasn't called , returned calls/texts or sent anyone else out to inspect it. As far as the dumbass who was making fun of me fir seeking "free legal advice " , go frick yourself. My father is an attorney in Texas (we don't exactly have the greatest relationship with him ) and is also looking into matters for us. I've always respected the forum on TD and have found out many things from folks who have experienced things first hand . All I was looking for was " free advice " from those who know what I'm going through. To those of you who actually replied helpful thoughts, thank you . I'm hesitant to with hold any further rent payments but I also want him to know we mean business and NEED this addressed ASAP . My father in law did tell us to contact the st tammany board of health/ health dept and see if they can come out and check things out. Thanks again peeps!
