real eatate/ renting legal issue..need some advice.?
My nephew recently rented an apartment in southern illinois. After he moved in, the rain came, and the floors are literally soaked. He then met the neighbors who had moved to the next apartment for this same reason.(they used to occupy that same apartment) They said it happens every time there is significant rain. there is black mold that you can see and smell...is there any renter protection laws anyone knows of? It's unbelievable that they just continually let people move in until they complain,then switch them to a new one. any help would be appreciated.

Has he notified the Manager? Start with the wet floor...this is the owner's responsibility to fix leaks and cracks in his property...the mold is a health issue, so he can call the health department first for advice and maybe find out how to present this issue to the Manager. Hard to believe that the former tenants stayed in this building and even moved to the next unit? That flooding it totally unacceptable!
If they refuse to fix it, he probably can break his lease and not be penalized.
