Closet Mold Damage

Q. I am currently caught up in a conflict with my previous landlord over the extensive mold I found in my walk-in closet. When I complained, they evicted me and blamed me for the mold. They said that they found cat urine on the carpet, and that was what caused the mold. I think they are making up excuses, because I never left the closet door open because I didn't want my cat to get in the closet. Also, they have had several water line problems for which they have had to shut off the complex's water in order to fix. They also say that there are no pipes anywhere near the closet, which I find hard to believe considering my bathroom is next to the closet. They even knocked holes in the wall between the bathroom and closet. They have a letter from some supposed professional saying that the mold was due to my neglect, and the cat urine. Seriously, can cat urine cause mold? Oh, and this doesn't start to touch on the constant headaches I've had, horrible nosebleeds, etc... [June 3, 2002]

A. If the cat urine left a specific area of carpet and padding beneath wet for at least 24 hours, it is possible for mold to start growing from the moisture provided by the pet's urine. If mold is growing on or in carpet, there is a possibility of your cat having caused the carpeting mold problem. Molds can be caused by water problems resulting from pets, and pets can become sick from molds that may be inside the pet owner's home or apartment. Pet mold can be a very big problem. But you kept your cat out of the closet! If mold is growing inside or on closet walls, such mold growth could only result from the closet walls being wet for more than 24 hours. It is not likely that your cat was wetting walls or inside walls. Because of your health problems arising from the rental unit mold and because of the allegations against you by the landlord, you should consider hiring a mold lawyer to represent you in this mold and pet issue.
