           Renter's Toxic Mold
           It can grow anywhere, and make you quite sick. Toxic
           mold is a serious health risk no one should have to
           live with. So how can you tell if the mold growing in
           your home is the harmless or toxic type?
           Don't expect much help from the San Diego
           Department of Public Health. Before our investigation,
           they didn't even provide printed material on mold
           problems. We convinced them to create a pamphlet
           designed to provide some basic information on toxic
           mold, and what you can't do about it. They've posted
           the same information on their website. To view it, click
           here: Mold Information. 
           But what if you rent your home? NEWS 8 renters told
           us cries to landlords often fall on deaf ears. If you're a
           renter with a mold problem, there are several things
           you can do.
                  First, make your landlord aware of the
                  problem, and ask him to fix it. 
                  If the landlord doesn't take action, file a
                  complaint with your city's building inspection
                  office. 
                  And if the problem persists, consider moving.
                  Mold can create a serious health problem. You
                  don't want to stay in a situation that might
                  compromise your health.
