Help with landlords not responding to a mold problem
The TN Department of Health does not have the authority to inspect and require landlords to address mold issues in rental properties.  However, in some cases, local building codes may help to address the problems that contribute to mold growth. If your local codes department can provide assistance for issues such as unaddressed leaking pipes, roof leaks, sagging ceilings, sunken floors, and poor drainage, you can accomplish the first step toward addressing your mold problem. If a water leak is endangering electrical outlets, contact the State Fire Marshall’s Office for guidance. If all else fails, see how to file a complaint with the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs.
