It is against federal law to live in an apartment with mold. Therefore regardless of your state law says you are not obligated to live under those conditions. Your primary obligation is to make sure you take pictures and have properly notified your complex meaning in writing with the a company representatives signature. Even a return receipt certified letter will work. You can google this it is under the landlord tenant law. You may also contact legal aid or get a regular lawyer. You have a serious case and can sue for damages. There are local housing inspectors and so forth. Put it this way, if a homeowner sold his/her property they are required by law to disclose mold and lead based paint. Therefore if you rent they are required to rid your rental of those conditions. Good luck!
