Woman\u2019s horrifying apartment issues go viral Instagram: @elenasretenovic \/ TikTok: @tallgurlA Nevada woman\u2019s battle with her landlord over mold in her apartment is taking TikTok by storm, leaving viewers horrified and concerned for her health. In December 2021, TikTok user \u2018tallgurl\u2019 (real name Elena Stetenevoic) posted a full-scale epic tale to the video platform detailing her issues with her landlord. According to the TikToker, she and her roommates were constantly suffering from fevers, headaches, and other symptoms consistent with mold exposure. She ordered a mold test kit from Amazon and decided to swab a vent in the home that was rife with mold. Once the sample started growing, she alerted her landlord of the situation \u2014 but it seems they didn\u2019t agree with her findings. Instead, they replaced the vent and sprayed it with Lysol to \u201ckill\u201d the mold. It took a doctor\u2019s note to order a mold inspection of the place, which the landlord was happy to pay for\u2026 on the condition that it was, in fact, mold. If not, the tenants would be \u201cliable for the fees.\u201d Elena posted a few more updates, claiming that a mold inspector had come to look at the house, who ultimately didn\u2019t seem too concerned about the issue.

The results came up as passable in the inspector\u2019s tests, leaving her and her roommates responsible for the costs. \u201cThey did detect mold spores in the air, but they were not in a quantity that was too high for us to breathe in, basically,\u201d Elena explained. In another update, Elena claimed that she\u2019d been contacted by several other people claiming to be tenants under her landlord within the same neighborhood, who also said they had similar experiences with health issues in their homes.

Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem like much has changed for TikTok\u2019s resident \u2018mold girl.\u2019 On February 3, she posted an update to the situation after being featured on Snapchat Discover. \u201cTo be honest, not much has changed,\u201d she revealed. \u201cWe still have mold, our landlord still doesn\u2019t care, we still can\u2019t afford lawyers, we still don\u2019t know our rights.\u201d Click here if TikTok fails to load. That isn\u2019t stopping commenters from giving her frequent advice \u2014 especially after an independent lab claimed she was living with three different species of mold, including penicillin, which can \u201ctrigger allergic reactions.\u201d Elena\u2019s initial viral video has amassed over 9 million views at the time of writing.
