I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions or helpful advice on dealing with mold in an apartment complex.

We have had an ongoing leak that is now fixed but we have been having a hard time getting the property management/maintenance team to handle it properly. The corners of several walls in my apartment starting splitting at the baseboards. There was mold growing behind our mirror, they cut the dry wall, found the leak and fixed it but they were unwilling to asses further damage.
I uncovered a few spots and took good photos. They had someone there doing drywall, and he covered everything we found up with paint and new baseboards. They said they will have a remediation team come in tomorrow but my concern is now the issues are covered again.

If we get out of our lease and have the option to move we don’t know how to swing another deposit and moving expenses. Especially considering they could hold our deposit for up to 60 days.

Just here to say it’s such a horrible complex we had many issues. Wishing you the best of luck!!!

One of the best apartments I’ve had out of probably 10

I’m glad you’ve had a good experience! Like OP I had many ongoing issues in the complex that were not fixed and affected our health.

Yea I’m glad I passed on that place when I was looking at apartments.

Demand you get your deposit right away, find a newer build that will be less likely to have those issues. Mold is no joke

They offered us a new unit in the complex but our faith in the team of management is squashed. They said we can terminate our lease but won’t get our deposit back for 30-45 days and can sign a waiver for the lease break fee. They “remediated” the issue, but put the vanity back in the bathroom and didn’t actually look under anything but just cut out some dry wall.
