Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
My apartment was recently flooded. My roommate and I were having some breathing problems so wanted my landlord to be sure there was no mold growth as a result of the flood. My landlord then had his own mold specialist conduct a mold test in my apartment. The specialist concluded there was no mold growth and that my roommate and I could move back in. After we moved back in to our apartment, our breathing problems continued and then we discovered visible mold growth on our apartment walls. Our landlord refuses to take the visible mold growth seriously and so, my roommate and I are trying to terminate our lease. Due to these circumstances, do we have a legal right to terminate our lease? (This happened in May and our lease ends 3 months later in August).

You'd have to at least get your own mold expert to counter his before you'd have a case.
