ABBEVILLE, La. (KLFY)-- Another tenant at Stone Bridge Apartments in Abbeville is complaining of mold after a recent flooding.

Rhonda Campbell, a resident there for seven years, said she's been dealing with mold for 18 days.

"The manager at one time had talked somewhat about maybe me getting another apartment," Campbell said. "But every time that I go and tell him, 'I need answers,' he never gives me an answer. And he has yet to give me a new apartment that doesn't have mold in it."

Campbell said the flooding looks like it came from plumbing issues next door, but she said management still has not figured out the real cause of it, nearly 20 days later.

"He's trying to put blame on me for pipes that are in the wall or a seal on a bathtub, that he didn't even change the seal if it was leaking," Campbell said. "He just caught it."

She said they visited her apartment over three days trying to figure out the issue and vacuumed the water out for her.

As for the mold, she said they did offer to clean it for her, but she denied their help. Campbell said the complex sent a maintenance crew member to her apartment.

"I'm not going to let somebody that's not a mold specialist come in and scrub moldings and spread the molding," Campbell said.

Campbell told News Ten she spoke to the complex's manager. Campbell claimed he told her corporate procedures do not require them to fix anything else.

“They asked me yesterday, ‘What more do you want us to do? We have been there. We're finished with your apartment,'" Campbell said. "I'm like, ‘How? You're finished when there's mold and mildew all over my apartment?’”

News 10 reached out to the complex and its management group but did not receive a response.
