So there's mold in the walls of our apartment and it isn't properly ventilated/insulated. You can lean a bag of laundry against a wall and black mold oozes out of the wall. Same thing happened with a suitcase in the closet. One wall where the couch was became completely covered. The landlord will only cover the toxic black mold with paint.
I spoke with volunteer legal services and they referenced a lease termination code and told me to mention it in a letter to terminate the lease. One roommate is my brother who's had asthma and allergies his whole life and can't set foot in the apartment anymore. The other roommate is just some guy from Craigslist who has a gambling problem, no money to move and refuses to leave.
How do I even what?
Can my brother and I still terminate?

Didn't you ask the volunteer legal services people about that? Whose name/s is/are on the lease?

Black mold is serious stuff. If it's as bad as you are describing call the city and have the place condemned. Obviously you'll have to find a new place right away but I would live in my car before I spent another night in that bad of a mold infestation.
