My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: TX
We have been living in a rent house since last September. Before we moved in, landlord filed flood insurance claim due to Hurricane Harvey and claim adjuster came and complete the inspect and damage claim over $3200 in October. We have requested landlord to repair those affected walls in garage and storage room since September. As of today, landlord/rent agent still did not come to repair. They asked us to pay the inspector to come and if it is proved there is mold, they would fix it or we have to pay the cost of inspection and any related repair. Is it our responsibility to prove there is problem in house? There is some flood house smell in those two rooms and black substance found and cleaned in one of the wall. Without open all the walls, we can not claim there is mold. What should we do? File a lawsuit to get a court order to force landlord to fix the rooms or get a mold inspector check the areas first? Hopefully, the inspector can check out the bad smell without open the walls?
