May I ask how a toilet water line busted? These are normally flexible plastic or reinforced flex lines. Did it freeze? If so, you may be respoinsible to pay for the repairs.
The health department saw the sewage and mold problems? If they do not think the mold (if it is mold) is a problem, there is little that you can do for that. If a government health department doesn't think it is a problem, you will find it hard to convince a judge that it is a problem. I suggest you call the local building inspector or code enforcement. Have them inspect and see if the floors are below standards. Surely they can check problems inside the trailer. They should cite the LL and force him to make repairs. |
