I am renting a trailer that I am going to be moving out of very soon, like within the next couple of days. My landlord keeps ignoring the mold and mildew that is growing in the trailer on the walls and floor in the bathroom. The mold is under white tile, and it shows really bad. The landlord says there is no mold or mildew in the trailer. He is lying!!! I have 27 pictures to prove it!!!! I feel like I am getting a run around from DHEC or I am not sure exactly what to do. I am living in the SC Pelzer area. I want to expose this SORRY LANDLORD for all that he is worth. I want other people to know about this so that he will not be allowed to rent the trailer anymore!! I thought it was illegal for a person to let someone live in mold and mildew. Please someone with some good advice Point me in the right direction. HERE IS THE INFO. PASS THE WORD ALONG AS WELL PELZER SC LAND LORD TIM BROOKS!! DO NOT RENT FROM HIM!! He is hurting peoples health. Help me expose him

YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO PREVENT RENTING AND EXPOSING A HEALTH PROBLEM.
YOUR LOCAL CITY OR COUNTY HEALTH INSPECTION HEALTH DEPT WILL DO THAT.
WHEN YOU PRINT A PERSON NAME AND LIST BAD INFORMATION AGAINST THAT PERSON-THEN THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO SUE FOR LIBEL AND EVEN DEFAMMATION OF CHARACTER.
POSTING THEIR NAME ON INTERNET IS A SURE FIRE WAY TO LAND YOURSELF IN COURT...AND IN A DEEP HOLE OF A LAWSUIT.

Pretty tough to do unless there is a leasing agent you can inform. He (the landlord) is going to be fielding calls from people from all over the place who heard about the property from all different sources. You're not going to be able to notify all the sources, because you can't know about them (i.e. friends referral, where he places his ad's, etc) Best you can do is send something in the mail to the new tenant to let them know what they got into. Hopefully, the new tenant will be a law student specializing in real estate and will use this guy as a test case. I suppose you could also try to get in front of someone in the city to convince them of housing violations via city ordinances. Good luck!
