Mold And Ms
Posted: 08-05-03 11:49am

My boyfriend moved into these horrible apartments not knowing how bad it was there. They didn't show him the actual apartment or the garage. The mold there is so bad that when i go there i have major allergy attacks. But with his ms it is really scaring me. I recently did a search on the web and found the side affects mold has on someone. My boyfriend is having almost all of them. I don't know if this will have a bigger effect on his ms? Does any one know if we can get him out of there legally without having any problems with breaking the lease?

Rolling Eyes I find your post interresting because of the molds.. I do not know what this plays on ms but I also have been exposed to them very much so.. We lived in a parsonage ( my husband is a pastor )which had tons of toilet waiste under the house.. Not known to us for about a year.. It was that year that my ms started to really expose itself. I hope that your friend can get out of there soon. Take photo's for the molds to back you from any future spats. Good luck!

I agree, mold, and other allergines can cause your symptoms to react. I one that when everything is blooming not only do I have the stuffy nose and itchy eyes but my legs tingle more and i'm tired all the time,

i would say yes to your friend being able to get out of the lease because mold is extremly dangerous to anyone. If he has a problem then he can get a lawyer or even call the health department. They would know what to do.

Good luck

Hey my friend did indeed get out of the lease. They didn't give him and problems after his doctor wrote a note saying that he could not live there with the mold because of his ms...Thanks for the support...

I found the mold and ms interesting. I have been told it is possible I have ms. I live in an older home with lots of moisture problems. My unusual mslike symptoms have been coming and going for the past four years. I am beginnig to think mold may be my problem and not ms

I also fine the mold issue intresting. As a child my parents applied a vinyl wallpaper in my bedroom. After awhile we noticed my walls looked like there was a rash under the paper. When the paper was removed we saw the wall was covered with mold. The wall had to be sanded down before a new paper was applied. I lived in that room for several years. I don't know if the mold issue was actually ever resolved.
Just found your post intresting. Maybe there is a connection who knows.
Thanks Rolling Eyes

Just to let you know - you can contact the Board of Health in your area and make a report. That is simply not legal. Also, there may be a Housing Authority you can contact for your area who will act as the liason between renter and owner. There are laws and ordinances that make this illegal and help you take action and help to motivate the landlord to get his/her act together and fix the problems.
Just go online and search "local Board of Health office." that should get you started.
