Do I have a good case if I was dealing with a mold situation that caused my illness and being a transplant patient?

Asked by a user in Shelby, OH - 2 months ago.

You may have a case against the landlordof the apartment in which you were living. You will need to prove that the landlord knew or should have known of the mold condition, which appears to be the case since you complained about the wetness of your carpet.
