johnny asked:


I’ve lived in a rental house for 10 years that has asbestos shingles and asbestos insulation on the heater pipe. I had breathing problems since 2002 and after getting health insurance in 05 found out i have asthma. Can this be related to my home environment? It’s a very old (1920) house that the landlord refuses to renovate “because he keeps my rent low”. Well he has no choice because of rent control laws here, but I do like the row rent for the location. Problem is I’m concerned it’s killing me. I wish he would renovate.
Last year I had a terrible mold problem that he also refused to do anything about. I had to clean myself. What recourses do I have?
