Mold :(

In the last week or so I have smelled mildew/mold coming from my closet. There were also dark streaks on the wall. So I called maintenace to come in - the finally showed up a day later and told me there was nothing to worry about, they would bring me a fan to make sure it was all dry and then they would repaint next week. I was told to remove all the items from the closet to help it dry faster. As I removed things. I found this:

and this 

and finally, after looking at my belongings - I then found this - these are my wedding shoes and my wedding purse. Things I was saving for obvious sentimental reasons. 

I am devastated. Heartbroken. Upset. Maybe, if this was the first time that a major problem had happened, I wouldn't care as much. But it's not. Not even close. 

In 2008 - we had a leak in the same closet - which resulted in this: 

I haven't taken the time to really dig through my photos, but there is one other water leak, damage to our patio, a broken garage door, broken plants, nails and mess on our patio from construction. It's a nightmare. 

Unfortunately, our lease isn't up until April 30, 2011. I can't handle another 9 months of this place, these problems - I just can't handle it. We are working on finding a way out of our lease, whether a legal reason, or convincing the managers that they should just let us out. If I do stay, EVERY little thing will be reported. Everything. From a tear in our screen door, to loose electrical sockets, to the damage in our tub. I will call weekly with new complaints.
