What are our right as tenant's to live in a safe and healthy environment? We experienced flooding last month due to heavy rains. The finished basement was covered in water 4-6 inches deep. The landlord had a restoration company come out to estimate cost of cleaning (removing carpets, sanitizing the area, dehumidifiers, and fans) which was quoted as $1,200. The company recommended opening some of the falls because they were really wet (their meters said 90% moisture). The landlord was cheap and decided to do it himself. All he did was rip out the carpets and he never opened up the walls to dry or removed the baseboard. My husband and I went to home depot and purchased stuff to sanitize the floors and rented a dehumidifier and fans. A week or so later we decided to pull off one of the baseboards just to check and it was covered in mold.
Due to our request, the landlord did have a mold inspection come in and do an air test. The results have come back as positive for mold with a recommendation to remove all walls that have sheetrock and baseboards. In addition, our central air intake is down in the basement and we believe the whole unit has been exposed to mold now. At the current time, our landlord is unwilling to remedy the situation. Our allergies have been bothering us tremendously, but we don't want to move. What are our rights? We have been paying full rent even though we aren't able to use the basement anymore. What should the next steps be for us. Below is the statment from the mold inspection company:
The Penicillium/Aspergillus and Cladosporium spore counts are elevated and may pose certain health risks. A total spore of 2000 counts/m3 i sconsidred a threshold level by most Industrial Hygienists. That count of 2000counts/m3 should consist of no more than 1/2 Penicillium/Aspergillus, 1/3 Cladosporium and 1/3 other. The Pencillium/Aspergiullus count was 853counts/m3 inside compared with a count of 480 counts/m3 outside. Base on thse results and the visible mold in the basement family room, we recommend a remediation process to eliminate visible mold and to not allow the current mold spores to develop any further. (Note this is their recommendation based on the air sample alone with out even testing inside walls which are definitely contaminated with mold)
What should we do? What are our rights.

It's like any other habitability issue. If the landlord does not fix a problem that you believe impacts the habitability of the unit you need to contact inspectional service for an inspection. Good luck.
