My house got condemned today and to my understanding it got condemned because the landlord didn't take proper care of the current black mold issues and the rental company has now left us homeless.

What about landlord who need assistance? Tenant who don't want to communicate with landlord owes 8 months rent, and doesn't offer u any payment. And won't move out.
