If you’ve ever had to deal with mold where you lived, you know it’s NO JOKE…
Landlords are supposed to be upfront about that nasty stuff, but we all know some of those folks can be sketchy, to say the least.
A TikTokker named Sheridan posted a series of videos and showed viewers what happened when she discovered mold in her apartment in Dallas, Texas and her landlord wasn’t straight with her about it.
Sheridan said she went to Home Depot and bought mold testing kits after she wasn’t getting straight answers from her landlord.
And, wouldn’t you know it, she found mold in her closet.
She showed viewers samples of the mold and said, “I know I’m not a mold expert, but that doesn’t look like pepper jack or gouda to me.”
Sheridan told viewers that another tenant in her apartment complex had the same problem and the owners told her the mold she saw was dust. It ended up costing the woman $7,000.
To make things worse, Sheridan also got a bad rash on her body from the mold in her apartment.
Check out Sheridan’s first video.
@sheridanellis #stitch with @Sheridan Ellis #greenscreen Mold issue in multiple units at Ross + Peak Apt in Dallas, TX. Please share this to hopefully prevent this from happening to anyone else 😭 Going to have to throw out most of my things and start over. There are so many units with this issue that they are trying to cover up. #dallas #dallastx #dallastexas
Because her landlord wasn’t being straight with her about her mold problem, Sheridan decided to record what the owner and other people talked about in her apartment from her dog camera.
The text overlay on her video reads, “Asked my apt complex to test the mold in my HVAC closet that grew from a leak they never fixed. Was told they didn’t find anything so I checked my camera…”
The group can be heard plotting to lie to Sheridan and to tell her that “organic growth” was cut out and removed from her apartment.
Take a look at the video.
@sheridanellis Proof Part 1 of Ross + Peak apartment complex lying. Checked my camera while I was at work and watched them walk around- not test anything- and make a plan on what to tell me 🙃 #cushmanandwakefield #cushmanwakefield #dallas #rosspeak #mold #apartment #leasing #CAMPfacility #CAMP
In the final video in the series, Sheridan said there was so much mold in her apartment that workers had to cut into another wall.
Ugh!
What a mess!
@sheridanellis Hypothetically speaking…what would you do? #greenscreen #mold #advice #help
And this is what folks had to say.
This person chimed in.
Another individual spoke up.
And this TikTokker offered some advice.
An honest landlord is hard to find!
