Rented a house for Invitation Homes, which is owned by black rock. Showed up all the windows were open didn’t think much of it; signed the contract.

Closed the windows, hour later call them up, complaining about the chemical smell. Took three months to get resolved. I was in an out of the hospital for months. Years for family to recover.

Sorry to hear. What turned out to be the cause of the smell, and how was it resolved? I hope you and your family are better now.
Leaking gas, which in a first for me didn’t smell like rotten eggs. They kept blaming the new carpet or paint or whatever else.

and to add to the fun, carbine monoxide from 2 sources. Included alarm with house was faulty.

Plus we were all acting like zombies. Bad smell made us keep windows open most of the time. Otherwise would have died. As it was gas company freaked out at how bad it was
