who do i call for home owner with mold problem refuses to fix and tenants are staying sick?

If you are a tenant and your landlord refuses to fix a mold problem that is making you and your family sick, there are several steps you can take:

1. Contact the local housing authority.

The housing authority can inspect your rental unit and issue a violation to your landlord if the mold is found to be a health hazard.

2. Contact your local health department.

The health department can also investigate the mold problem and issue an order to your landlord to fix it.

3. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

The BBB will mediate disputes between consumers and businesses, and they may be able to help you reach a resolution with your landlord.

4. Contact your state's attorney general's office.

The attorney general's office may be able to take legal action against your landlord if they refuse to fix the mold problem.

5. You may also be able to withhold your rent until the mold problem is fixed.

However, this is a legal process that varies from state to state. Make sure to do research on your state's laws, such as the landlord-tenant law before you decide to withhold your rent.

If you are unable to reach a resolution with your landlord, you may need to move out of your rental unit.
