[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the landlord has taken steps to fix it, then you are at the mercy of the schedule of the contractor that will make the repairs. Landlords have to use licensed, bonded contractors. They are all slammed right now. You can always move when your lease is up, but make sure to move to an apartment building, not a rental home.[/quote]

You absolutely do not have to stay put until your lease is up. The landlord can't get the insurance adjusters to come out faster, nor can they get contractors to move faster, and no landlord is willing to pre-pay for repairs. Either tell your landlord you are breaking your lease and move on, or agree that you will find temporary housing until repairs are up (and while you are not inhabiting the residence, you will not be paying rent).

+1. It is a health hazard to breathe asbestos and mold. Mold in particular stinks and causea upper respiratory problems for many people. When this happened at my place, I could not spend more than 2 hours at a time in the home without getting a massive headache.

Has the landlord been there in person. It is easy to say it's not a big deal if you don't have to live in the environment.  [/quote]
