    I’m no attorney but I think you should document the mold with pictures and then get a letter from your doctor saying the mold is harmful. Then, ask the company to let you out of your lease with the provisions you stated in your original question. If they refuse, small claims court.

    A landlord has the duty to provide you with a “habitable” residence (that means it’s healthy to live there). If the mold problem cannot be remedied, then you have grounds to terminate the lease.
