Hey guys I need your unbiased view of this....
Your impressions?
Move. Some of these fungi can cause serious respiratory problems. It's not worth taking the risk.
Man, that's a tough one. What's your lease have to say about this kind of thing? I'd think about at least talking to a lawyer so you know what your options are. You could also call in your local health department or building inspector. Of course doing that may mean you will HAVE to move.

Lease is extremelly short. Nothing about that. But in court I would have an argument.
My point is that I have a chance to get it fixed, but I'm like you, I need to be sure it's fixed before considering staying there much longer.

I'm considering it too. The problem is that I'll never be able to find the equivalent. This house is literally a steal at that price. It's easily 1000$ to 2000$ / month under the market value of the region.
If I can get this fixed somehow it's my preffered option.
Also I've been living there 18 months and never got sick. All things considered, the air quality now can only be better than what it was when I first moved in. It doesn't mean I don't want to have a definitive answer on the air quality now.
Just because you haven't gotten sick before doesn't mean you won't in the future. And initially, any illness you get from this will be hard to tell from a normal flu type illness. Only after it goes on way too long will you recognize where it's coming from then and by that time it may be too late.
Trust me, Remi, you do not want to live there if you are having these kinds of issues. You want a cheap test of air quality? Leave out a little spaghetti sauce tonight and see what happens. But that may not tell you anything. Check out this little bit of info on black mold.[/url]

Thanks for all the links, I'll read up on those after work.
That's pretty much what I was fearing... The Dante's peak effect =>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118928/
Or the frog with slowly eating water effect for those who haven't seen the movie.
Any comments still welcomed. Keep 'em coming.
P.S. The mold was beyond black in some parts. As I said, been there a long time!

Yeah, move. Not worth it.

Remember the saying "You get what you pay for."
The rent may be cheap, but apparently the repairs are going to be as well.

This question is worth 20K / year on the low end. This is not so black or white for me.

Not if I have something to say about it. This is where I'm also looking for information.
Any inspectors I can call in to force the correct repairs?
The repair compagny is clearly an expert and knows their stuff. They are the ones with the cuffs on their hands and I'm trying to give them more leeway to do what needs to be done.

Call the local Chamber of Commerce to get the number of a good county/city mold inspector. Or house inspector. Someone they recommend will carry a lot more weight with both you and the landlord.

I guess I was not clear here. The landlord is as cheap if not cheaper than the insurrance and now they both have to fight out on what needs to be done and who pays for it.
Hence I'm alone here and I need some serious weight on my side to change the dynamics of what's going on.
re-hence my willingness to pay the 500-1000$ for the expert air test. I was thinking than that + inspectors + lawyer letter = you're screwed, do the correct repairs or burn the house and pay for my relocation and all associated damages.

1 more piece of information about my mindset.
Either they fix it for me and I live there, or they burn down the house nobody has to risk living there.
This is a it depends questions, but the outcome(s) a real simple imho.

I was thinking if you push, maybe they would just condemn it.
Then the risk is decided for you.
Good time to start looking at other places, just in case.
