More details to this question:
We rented a home that had a constant drip in our shower. We sent a request upon moving and then 10 more during the course of 20 months of renting. FINALLY they sent us a plumber after sending many maintenance men who just did a bandaid fix. Upon opening the wall black mold was covering the entire wall and the wall to the right of the shower. For two years we blamed our sinus, breathing, congestion, fatigue, memory loss and a heart attack on it being just part of Gods plan for us. Little did we know we had been breathing in black mold for 20 months. Urine tests show 4 times the amount of microtoxins in our system. We had to throw away half of our belongings and had to relocate.

You will need to retain a lawyer to pursue such a claim and in most instances will have to pay for the experts and costs and often the legal fees in advance. That stated urine tests for mycotoxins are generally sale gimmick garbage and have specifically be rejected by the FDA and CDC as being worthless. The first step is to secure a written opinion from a licensed mold assesor after testing and inspection of the property re what type and how much mold is present. Black colored mold or mildew is not inherently toxic black mold. Once the extact type and circumstance of mold is determined then you will need to secure written opinion from a treating physician, commonly a neurologist, toxicologist or immunologist to address any toxicity issues. Stay away from holistic nutbag doctors as they are typically going to skim your cash for snake oil treatments, and have little ot no credibility in court. Mold toxicity issues are VERY expensive and difficult to establish abent excpetional cases as a general rule.
