Hello and thank you all for looking at this post. My fiancee (Juicette) and I have been living in this apartment for just about two years now and we have run into numerous problems with our apartment. Our kitchen ceiling collapsed, we have had rats, broken windows, bees in the siding, and now black mold.

We first noticed it under our mattress (slept on the floor, because broke college students) but it was neutralized with bleach and other cleaning solutions. We thought that was the end of it. That was about eight months ago.

Jump forward to today. My maintenance guy (MG) comes by because there is an issue with water leaking from our bathroom to the people below us. He realizes it is the seal on the toilet so he decides to replace it. Here is where the fun begins. After he replaces the ring and pets the toilet situated again, Juicette asks him if she can use the bathroom. When she goes in there, the lid is off and she can see inside the tank. Black mold everywhere. It is even on the wall behind the tank, but we have never seen it because it is so tightly pressed against it.

She asks MG if he knew about this, he said he did, he just hadn't gotten around to it, and then forgot about it. I am trying to keep a level head about this and trying to keep Juicette calm, but at the same time, I am a little pissed. So while we were looking for a new apartment and even weighing options about transferring school (tiny apartment market in this town), I decided to look up black mold removal and even the county guidelines on black mold. When I looked up the guidelines, I came across law offices that deal specifically with black mold. I know not to rush into thinking about taking this to court, so I decided to look at removal options. 

While I am doing this, Juicette is send an email to him so that way we can document that we had contact with him about this. Before she sent it, I put in that he should call the company that I found that specializes in removal. I also told him that it might be affecting the other units.

Is there anything else I need to do?
