<human>: So my apartment had some minor flooding from hurricane Irene and the rain after.  We lost a couple personal possessions and I had to take off 3 days from work to fight the flooding and keep us from losing anymore.  The landlord even offered us a rent reduction to pay us back for lost income and property(though its spread out over a long period of time).

The problem is now we are finding mold growing on the wall of our bedroom (basement apartment).  We even had a couple mushroom sprout between the floor and the baseboard on the wall.  Our superintendent has been very helpful.  He has twice sprayed the parts of our apartment where the mold was growing.  But we have no idea how bad the situation is behind any of the walls.

The management company offered us another room in the building, but it is significantly smaller and the same price.  They said they can't do any mold investigation or removal while we are still in the apartment.  They won't let us occupy another apartment while ours is being fixed.

This is all in Bergen County, NJ.

Is there anything we can do? We love our apartment and don't want to move out, but of course we can't live with mold.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Bergen County, NJ.  Mold in our apartment.  Landlord won't do major fix without us moving out/downgrading to another apartment. What can we do?
