Won't go to the post office for a registered letter, but will make the trip to collect the rent cheque? Foreshadowing... witchypoos last blog post..Look What Google Brought

Are there any attorney "call in" days at N's news station? Some of our local news stations have free call-in days to ask an attorney questions. Maybe somebody in his office would have some connections like that who you could just call to ASK a few questions-- no fee. It might also be worth having an inspector come out (maybe via the code enforcement) to legally document the damage done. And look for something new. Because chances of getting all the mold under control between now and your due date are NIL when the landlord is already unconcerned. Hyphen Mamas last blog post..Oh, Wouldn't That Be Nice!?

I think the mold test kits are a great idea. If they come back positive, then you have something real to present to your landlord.

If you can’t sue, your options are limited, but maybe the landlord would at least consider a compromise.

Good luck, and looking forward to the update to find out if there is mold present.

I kinda like the green cabinets. Kinda. I like the booze on top of the cabinets, too:) Its great that you are keeping such good records about what is going on. that is probably your best defense at the moment. Hopefully the landlord will have an "a-ha" moment and fix everything. Beckys last blog post..I have a Pulse…

Oh… the wallpaper, green “antiqued” cabinets and pine paneling scream ’60s to me. Truly awful, but I did refinish a bookcase in 1968 just like those cabinets.

It's good you are documenting everything on the blog. A chronological record is a very good thing to have. I love it that they have to pick up the letter to get their rent check. Good job! If it does get sent back to you, send it certified again. As for finding another place to live, at least you've knocked 38 properties off the "possible" list. Code enforcement, health department, great ideas. However, I cannot help but urge you to contact a lawyer. Both my daughter and son-in-law graduated from law school in Indiana (they practice in SC) and if you would like I can ask them if they know someone practicing in Evansville that they would recommend.

Maybe the Health Dept, too, with the code enforcement. If your letter comes back, put the rent check in with the letter.. incentive maybe for the landlord to pick up the legal letter? How did they know that there was potentionally legal letter in the PO and how can they dispute the fact that you are pg, if they haven't picked up the letter? maiden53s last blog post..The Passage of Time
