Q: What is the recourse, after you signed a lease and moved in and found you react to the house by becoming very ill?
We have a person who is very sensitive to environmental issues like allergens and molds and etc. We do not know until after we spend time in the home there is an issue. It is not possible to know by just visiting the house.
A: Usually you may not terminate your lease due to health issues. I suggest that you first review your lease regarding the landlord's obligations. Depending on your lease provisions, you may be able to serve your landlord with a 7 day notice to cure. However, you should really consult with an attorney who can review your lease and advise you accordingly prior to taking any action. All the best.
