Thanks for the replies.
I have looked into this some today. I do need documentation so I will try to get into the attic and take pictures of it. I can refuse to pay full rent, but still owe some until the work has been done. I guess that I am worried about the building being condemned while the work is being done. There are 3 other units in the building and those people have to be considered. Of course, they need to be considered with the health risks of the mold as well as the possibility of having to move. I am by law protected from being evicted for 1 year, but then what? The landlord is good about fixing plumbing and appliances in a timely manner, so not all is bad. I can break the lease for not declaring building code violations and health risks on the lease. A catch 22 for sure.
