A: To address negligence, emotional distress, and prove the existence of mold in your North Carolina landlord-tenant situation, document the issue with photographs and records, notify the landlord in writing, request inspections, and consult with a tenant's rights attorney for further guidance on reporting or potentially suing for damages.
