Review of Malt Realty & Development

Last week I reported a leak in my kitchen. Two day...

Last week I reported a leak in my kitchen. Two days later Malt sends out their "handy man" (Who I doubt is licensed or insured.) to look at the leak. He determined the leak was coming from inside the wall behind my refrigerator. He then cut a hole in the wall exposing black mold which is known to be toxic. Malt didn't even mention the mold to me. The same day the mold was exposed a suffered from a headache and fatigue. My kitchen smelt like a fish tank. I was advised to stop sleeping in house by a local mold re-mediator. It has now been 5 days since the wall was opened. While a dehumidifier and air scrubber was placed in my kitchen, same day by a licensed re-mediator. Malt just put up a containment wall in my kitchen yesterday. Mold spores can spread easily through the air and can grow in exposed furniture. Malt thinks it is ok for me to stay in my apartment without first testing the air for spores. While their office employees may greet you with a smile. Show you any property you would like to look at. They drop the ball when it comes to your safety. Two more holes have been cut in my wall. One upstairs, the other downstairs. Mold can be found in both of them. Neither have been contained. Make sure a proper inspection is done before signing your lease. These guys don't even preform the 6 month inspection they claim to in their homeowners handbook. Nor did they do an inspection when I RESIGNED my lease. Landlords and renters beware!
