there are 2 issues: 1.if you and/or your son are sick because of the mold and it can be proven, then you may have an injury case against the landlord - his liability insurance carrier; 2. re the lease, there is a doctrine called constructive eviction which gives a tenant the right to terminate the lease and move out. you are welcome to contact one of our lawyers for a free consultation. if you want that feel free to email or call me and i will set it up for you. terry rubino
