shesxchaotic`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll I need some advice. My husband and I moved into our apartment 2 years ago and we loved it! Good location, quiet neighborhood, and best of all, inexpensive! We planned on staying here for a few years and then purchasing a house since our rent was so low, we were able to save alot. Anyways, my husband was laid off due to his work closing shortly after I had our son. We can still afford our rent but money is tighter now obviously. Well now everything is hitting the fan! We`re on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor building and water is coming down through our wall in 2 rooms which we assume must mean its coming through the apartment above us as well from the roof. Our a/c unit and isn`t sealed properly and water is leaking around it as well. My issue is that I`m worried about the fact that mold and mildew must be forming with all the dampness from leaking and our son is starting to crawl. I`m worried for his health and I`m not sure talking to maintenance will help! I mean I think they`d have to tear the walls out and I doubt they`d be so willing to do so even if we say it`s for the safety of our son. We can`t really afford to move but I`m worried we may have no choice! What should we or can we do??

Talk to them and tell them it's their responsibility and if they aren't happy then too bad. It isn't safe and they need to fix it!
Talk to them and if they give you a hard time just live with it. It can't be that bad for you right?
Just keep your mouth shut. It won't do anything to complain.
Other? Comment? Suggestions??

This happened to us (our water tank was leaking thru our closet) and I told my landlord and the next day he was here fixing it. it is HIS responsibility as a landlord to provide a safe enviroment, child or not. if not, you can report him to the rentalsman offices (if you have such a thing) good luck :)

I would tell them they need to test for mold or you will take legal action!!! It is their responsibility

Hun you need to demand they fix it... They are legally obligated to fix it even if they dont want to, and even if it takes breaking into the walls. If they dont do it then you can call the health department or the housing authorities. It is extremely unhealthy for all of you to live in an environment with mold. Good luck!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
