I very much appreciate your replies. It could be that you are correct. I lived in a different apartment, in the same complex, and because of serious mold issues, was transferred into the newer one. I lived in that one for about a year. I didn't have near the problems there that we had the first, however, there were several things which worried me, and which were never really fixed. There was a very horrible smell which was coming from the front bathroom, and was it finally decided to have been caused by algae growing in the toilet and possibly the waterpipes. The problem was never really resolved, but they did at least dump some acid down into the pipes and replace the floor tile, which seemed to help somewhat. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/t ... -20069.jpg Beyond that however, there have been more recent issues as well. The ceiling in the hallway, or a portion of it anyway, fell down on my head a few days ago. The paint was bubbled up and cracked and peeling away from the wall. I went to touch it, to see if it was still wet, (which it was) and that is when it began to fall in clumps and rain plaster down onto my head. There are cracks in the ceiling and wall in that area, and as I began looking around for the source of the problem, I discovered this. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/t ... AptB18.jpg Obvious water damage in the kitchen, just above the drop down ceiling, which leads into the hallway where the current problem is. Thta doesn't appear to be wet anymore, but I do not remember having seen it in the past, and after my last experience, I am sure that I would have checked. (That was how I finally found the source of the leak in my first apartment, which had been making my daughter and myself very ill.) http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/t ... aptB16.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/t ... ptB112.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/t ... einhal.jpg http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g27/t ... ptB142.jpg In short, my concern is that these issues may not be addressed as they should be, and I am wondering if the problem may in fact be a much larger one than it appears to be. As I said, I no longer live there, but I have friends who do, and just how out of human decency hate the idea of anyone moving into an apartment which may be on the verge of making people sick, as our first apartment did. Again, I could be overreacting, but any input is very much appreciated. Sincerely, Stacy
