You can do a few things: 1. Contact the Houston Apt Assoc & file a complaint. ou can do it online with this link: http://www.haaonline.org/haaweb/HAA/rr/rr_form_preface.cfm 2. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! Because...if the landlord is in violation of para. 31 of the TAA lease agreement (Default By Owner) you have leverage. 3. This sounds bad, but try cleaning the mold off. Houston is humid and if your A/C condensing unit, etc is not working properly it offers a wonderful breeding ground for mold. Clorox Wipes work wonders. 4. Have you just tried going in and having a face to face? Go into the Leasing Office - WHEN THE PROPERTY MANAGER IS THERE - (you may want to set up an appontment), sit down, and calmly try to work things out by letting them know your issues and concerns. Trust me - it costs a ton more to re-let an apartment then it would for them to just get your air ducts cleaned and throw some weather stripping on your doors and windows. and finally 5. Find out when your lease is up, give proper notice, and MOVE! Property Manager Extraordinaire
