Our managers at our apartment complex expect us to pay $300 on-site transfer fee, another deposit, and resign a new 12mth lease to relocate to another apartment. Mold has been growing in ceiling of our bathroom the 2mths we’ve lived here. They only cut a small square out, (supposedly put some treatment in there), and patched it back up.

You need Legal Counsel if your family is getting sick!
Texas is one the leading states for mold-related lawsuits. For example, a jury in Austin, Texas recently awarded $32 million to a couple who sued their insurer after the company allegedly failed to repair a water leak in their 22-room home in Dripping Springs, Texas. The jury awarded $6.2 million in actual damages $12 million in punitive damages, $5 million for emotional distress, and $8.9 million in attorneys’ fees. In December, another insurer settled a mold-related bad-faith lawsuit for $1.5 million in Blum v. Chubb Custom Insurance Co. (No. 99-3563, Nueces Co., Texas Dist. Ct.).
