Living in housing with mold and that is unsafe
Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2015 7:58 am
I'm disabled by the state but have no income. They won't let me apply for SS online because I don't have any of my ex-husbands personal information. I am in one room filled with black mold, no vehicle, no income at all. (I do have medical & a food card & am on Medicaid disability).
The person I've been staying with rents month to month & has no lease. The landlord came down throwing a fit last night & threw a hand written eviction notice at me. I am disabled & on very strong pain killers & utilize a cane. Many times I can't get to the bathroom, let alone outside. Particularly now that it's freezing outside. The weather makes my pain & mobility a thousand times worse. ( I am 42, female & disabled...).
I have nowhere to go. I have photos of it... Black thick mold all over the walls, the floors in the closets, all over the bathroom floor it has eaten threw, to where you can see into the basement from the bathroom. So NO privacy either. I have personally informed him about the Mold problem many times, several times a year, for 5 Years now... He even came in & looked at all the mess once & never did a thing. So obviously he's not concerned about anyone's health. I have no income, nowhere to go & don't know what to do. Please help me, or put me on the right track with someone who can.
