In case anyone is in Southern California, I highly recommend hiring Steven Mullins (nice fellow in the video) to do an inspection for you. Struggling with mold and moisture problems. To call him exceptional, would be an understatement. Plus, he is not just a regular mold inspector. He is a Certified Microbial Consultant. He does moisture, mold, bacteria, and endotoxin testing. Apparently, the bacteria, which not many people know about, can cause fatality. He is straightforward; compassionate and so incredibly knowledgeable. Note: he covers Los Angeles as well. If you contact him, you will be so very glad and relieved that you did! As it might be obvious per the thoroughness of his videos, he goes above and beyond for his clients. So even if you are not in Southern California it’s worthwhile to maybe pay him for his expertise. He is THAT knowledgeable.

Hey Steve, just sent that email! Need that PDF urgently! Thanks for your channel and good work!

Very helpful presentation. VERY helpful.

Thank you!

I’m emailing you. Can’t believe your close to me, I know it’s because I prayed about it because people are so ignorant about it.

Hello Pearl!! I was hoping you'd make an appearance!

Hi thanks for this video you answered some questions I had. I am dealing with mold and moisture issue in the property I currently rent. There was been 2 inspections so far confirming the mold and moisture although the mold has not yet been tested. There will be another inspector coming out tomorrow for the owners to have a second opinion. We have been asked to move and my furniture has been ruined, is the owner responsible for the cost of moving and to pay for my damages? And is it legal for them to term tenacy?

Ty!

I don’t see the link to be emailed thanks for this very informative video and love the sound of the bird in the background 😊

Thank you so much for posting this it was so helpful. By any chance are you located in the Coachella valley area?

Well done. You have a good voice and presentation style. I'm dealing w this in Fla. Corporate landlord in Tx, customer svs in India. What could possibly go wrong? I'll tell you ... landlord did not repair ongoing roof leak after hvy rains for 2 yrs. Despite my maintenance requests. Mold Pros did testing... awaiting results. He did say master bedroom wall is wet.😞

My landlord just told me he’s having mold that was found in my bathroom wall after leaky hot water pipe was fixed is being left to dry a while then treat it and wall repaired. He is not having a mold company do it properly and my son and I have had side effects I’m now learning from this long term leak and the problem! Can I tell him he must use the proper precautions and not the easy fix since we planned on living here long term ( 3+ yrs we’ve been here) they found the leak from outside corrosion of stucco due to long term constant leaking from outside drain pipe! They traced it to pipe inside my bathroom wall!

Extremely helpful information. The problem with laws is they aren't always followed or enforced. I called code enforcement. They wrote up some violations and he's handling them. But there were a bunch of issues overlooked. When I called the inspectors higher ups now they are being looked into again. Seems they don't want to address them all at once due to housing shortage or some reason.

Would love to know more. We had a serious case of toxic mold and flooding. Landlord did all of the above plus more to scare us and our dog died... We're both sick and don't know how to proceed. Did everything by the books are far as documenting everything, getting city involved, and tests.

Hello! Thanks so much for the helpful information. Do you have advice or information on what to do if the landlord says they have fixed the problem, but you disagree? I found mold growing behind a peeling section of paint in my bedroom the same time I developed allergy symptoms I had never experienced before. The landlord disagrees that this is a habitability issue, instead saying it's a maintenance issue and fixed because they repainted that section of my wall. However I'm hesitant to trust the mold is fully gone and move back in, especially since my symptoms got better when I left to stay at a friend's, and because the mold underneath the paint suggests to me there is an unidentified moisture source inside the wall. Should my next step be to hire a certified mold inspector myself, since my landlord won't?

I’m from California, where my family rents we have black mold and it is causing us very serious respiratory problems and allergy like symptoms we need someone like you to come inspect our home and build a case against our landlord

Hi Steve! Just emailed you.

I have a current issue with mold and my landlord not exactly wanting to do anything about it. We asked him to get an inspector and has told us no. He also said he doesn’t want to do the proper repairs because they are costly and would want to vacate us. May you help us?

Ok I live in an apartment I seen mold I told the owner he ask one of the workers to primer 123 then 2 days later he painted now it’s coming back it’s black what do I do now????

I have black mold and apartment management has been assessing it. Do i pay my rent for this month while im still in it? If they move me to a temporary unit do i pay for that unit or for the one being assessed?

Hello, Sir. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I have some questions about my potential liability as a tenant in central California. The house I live in is an older house. One of the living room windows is an old metal frame window. I have mold that reoccurs on the lower part of the living room walls. Also, lower part of certain section of the closet. This mold problem seems to happen during the winter, also the windows always have condensation overnight. Also, mold patches keep coming back on bathroom ceiling nearest the shower. The property did have an issue a fee years ago where a major pipe had to be replace and I wonder if the moisture causing this mold is coming from back then or if I am responsible for the mold happening because I don't use the wall heater when it's cold ? I don't open the windows much in the winter because it's so cold. I want to notify my landlord before things get worse but I'm scared that they will find a way to blame me for it. Any advice you can provide is much appreciated. Thanks.

QUESTIONS????!!!!!.... On June 7th 2022. My ceiling collapsed from a broken water pipe. The fire department deemed my place unhabitable due to water damage and mold. Landlord is saying she wants me out and refusing to pay for lodging or food. I have a 15 year old daughter who is recovering from surgery. My rent was payed in full for June 2022. All of my belongings have been deemed a total loss. I have no where to go. Her insurance is stating I can't b their for the demolition. I can't find an attorney anywhere to help. What can I do???

Your amazing. I prayed and found you. I don’t trust anyone really. I have been investigating for over 2 decades and now I have almost lost my life and my dogs. I have everything and even landlord tenant only for eviction because of the brutal retaliation and intentional abuse after Fire Jan 30 2022, and filed claims , I am a beast because I lost my fiancé to toxic mold and bacteria who got leukemia at 38 died months later. I have lupus , GI , now blindness and I’m down to 87 pounds from 120. My dog lost hearing and eyes and has massive yeast infections. It’s so bad Steve. Once you see my videos and evidence for years and I’m also a producer and doing documentaries on Many different types of bullies over the people who pay literally 3 to 5 thousand at this place Camden in irivne at main and jamboree but my issues is , not my first rodeo it’s a corrupt pay to play world especially with this and properly owners and insurance companies. But I went into anaphylactic shock and almost died the other night but with the retaliation and then thefts and breaks in. They all know it’s me and I used my savings over 50 grand to try save us but too sick to move and my lawyer said have to handle the retaliation of them evicting me when I should have been relocated after the fire and then 2 falls from wet and then over year of unsafe contructuon harassment etc. and they know I could die and my dog and they do or say nothing except wanted us in the streets on Christmas. Thank goodness for matt but they served me improperly and I couldn’t believe it especially when I had fire , theft and 2 slip falls and now have Freezer door broke off and knocked me unconscious on hard floor and elevator out again now from Dec 14 and still. With rain and I was completely disabled on Walker and got bloodclots and this massive edema and was bed ridden and could even get to bathroom, had to crawl and the pain so unreal. But I won’t ask for help because no one gets it and I’m sick of telling people what mold does to someone who had anything preexisting. I have everything and even with La times Journlist, animal rights advocates, disability rights and pretty much the entire property Wnats to do a class action but I need handle myself and save us and my dog first. I’m breaking down she is all I have Steve and I feel so alone because not just with all my evidence, I did my dead man’s trigger but I hate hearing other animals and people sick and these Billion dollar corrupt property owners. And I have so many of the cases that were hidden and very fraudulent deceptive practices also involving rent fees and the eviction to get them out to being in the new so they can raise thousands. Mine is 2450 but now they charging me like3 times and people are paying up to 5 grand and all they did is paint over mold and rip up carpet and walls so fed mold with drywall and then decade of shit is airbourne from carpet. As well as bug infestation, over 30 sewage breaks and overflow and yes Black water. Even came out of the maintenance manager mouth who knows I was only helping elderly friend here who was disabled and he died of phenomena and I knew it killed him. I have all on video. But I was so concerned about him I neglected myself and then haven’t eaten solid foods and been vomiting for year. I have all doctors and all documented but I need out and fully detox. Doesn’t help to start and then in this death tomb. If my dog dies , they have no idea the wrath. I have nothing to lose and I’m a woman who has God in here life and I’m not afraid to die so I will fight to the death. That’s why with all the lawyers reaching. Out mainly because of the personal injuries, you need the ones like you who have the credentials for court and once I take it public I’m going to bury them. My videos are so graphic and horrible but I had too. I’m 5.7 and a trained athlete and producer and also in cannabis. Finally ready to try start over after niki been gone 2 years and then this. And I know people want to help but it’s only stress and with my adrenal failure and GI and lupus. I have had multiple seizures and so has my dog. So the lead from painting non stop in all areas and inside while people are in. It’s so disgusting. If I had my savings I would just go and then sue. But I have been through that and I lost everything it got stolen etc. I won’t leave until I have ones I traut and I get stuff out that I know and is safe. So I need lawyers and that I found you I feel God lead me to this. My doctor wants me to go to Amen clinic which I know but also need lawyers with resources to make sure your safe and out. So that’s why I can’t just have some one man lawyer, because I have to save my dog. She is all I have left and has been my ride or die through all of this. I will look up website. I can’t see good and with thefts I got hacked and just been nightmare. They don’t just want me to give up for the court eviction on Jan 27. They want me dead so they win by default but I told my lawyer with laws it should have been thrown out. I’m super fog brain ona nd off. But I don’t take drugs or anti depressants or drink or anything. I know the candida poison in my gut is sane as my dogs and then all the Sibo and GI just wild fire. Only by Grace of God we are alive and I want justice. Not revenge, but justice and to show the nation how cruel and evil and all they had to do was relocate us per my policy. Which they are in cahoots I’m sure because the ERENTERS policy American National is the one they put on lease. Respectfully and so appreciative Steve for your expertise but mostly how you said you don’t like injustice or the so called professional with his little rolling suitcase. Just a joke. Last place where we got so sick. They came hazmat suits with fireman and Riggs because he was former fire inspector now toxic exposure testing etc. so I just want the right firm and not the bullshit fakes like the Erin Brockovich douche bag Giradi and Keefe who I told everyone he was corrupt. But no. They all black listed me and then it came out on Hulu documentary how he stole millions from clients. Ok I’m exhausted now because I lost my motor skills and trying get back since the shock on Jan 8. God Bless , Tiger D

Problem is they can make up other reason like a family member moving in. Or raise the rent for other reasons. What if I am in another unit and I know that there is mold in a seperate unit because the tenant moved out and they showed me the mold. The landlord stated he would just paint over it. Blamed them and said it was because they had the windows open. The common laundry area next to that unit in the basement retains water from rain seeping in under the door from outside stairwell. I have brought this to his attention but he just got rubber mats. We also have rodent holes outside near the foundation of the brick complex, we have bait stations but they are not maintaining them. Nor has he addressed this after I complained.

You should name your channel of the bird the bird sounds, The birdman, The Birdman's information!! 👌😉😉 I do love birds..... It's just funny how loud they are

Landlord is pushing us to move out and evict us due to mold that got into the walls from the bathtub sink leaking. They are trying to get contractors in to fix but trying to evict us right now.

Great info, can I have the link?? I'll send you an email as well, seems like I have the same issue as Cynthia

I live is st.louis Missouri. I won a judgement for 6 figures last year Aug 2021 , I haven't received a payment yet. I sued the realtor company who owned my apartment building, they fled the country so now my lawyer say that the insurance companies are responsible and he could try to retrieve the money from them. I'm concerned because I don't know if I'll ever get paid I haven't heard anything from my lawyer sense Dec 2021

We need the right and Ass lawyers who fight the Goliaths and are not intimidated at all by bullies

Do I have to be on the lease ? My landlord says she’s not obligated to help me but paint over mold

Black mould is caused by condensation. Tell your renters to heat and ventilation and clean with distilled vinegar.

Can you come give me a mold inspection certification in San Diego or refer me to a source otherwise, Sir.

I made my entire youtube channel dedicated to help people about mold. Do you think it will be helpful in building a case for people?

We were faced with a crazy expensive rental market we found one in a nice neighborhood but it was infested with mold and mildew that had been there a long time. The landlord had bought it from a couple who had lived there’s decades. I’m going to guess they left the home unheated other than using their basement wood stove. There was no ventilation and with the house closed up, I started having reactive airway disease, a rattling sound in my lungs that the doctor heard upon exam. All of our belongings our clothes hair etc smelled like mildew/mold. Our parrot even got sick. With the rental market being so expensive and so competitive it seems to me the indoor mold needs to be eradicated. All the carpeting padding and even the wallboard had been infested for many years. It’s my understanding that all of the permeable surfaces need to be removed down to the floorboards and treat with industrial strength bleach. It’s a massive undertaking.

The PDF did not send after I entered email

3 dead people in my unit. I’m dying slowly and so painfully. I need help. 11,000 spores of aspergillus. They didn’t believe me for too long. I can’t get help to save my life. Fireplace crack. Rats in attic and walls. Infestation of moisture insects. We have excessive heat. Our plastic is melted our metals are even degrading. Our roof is leaking and they won’t do anything. Even the contractor told me to call the city

I need an Attorney.

What if the house sold and the new owners are telling me its the previous owners issue? Mold was detected in the down stairs room/storage room / basement and the are going to bored it and lock it up after we get our stuff out of there. They also gave me a 60 day notice. I held back my rent and now they gave me a 3 day pay or quit. What can I do?

Coming from a different angle, and I would appreciate your response. I am working with a lawyer as well. I am a landlord. I gave my tenant an eviction notice for unpaid utilities. She retaliated and said there was mold in the home, and she previously had no complaints. She got a mold report and there was some mold found in the home, but not a tremendous amount. Do you have any idea how the courts would react to this? I am planning now to simply sue her to vacate
