What do you do if you find black mold in your house?

We just moved into a house on June 15th, which we’re renting. The day we moved in we started to realize that around the back door it was COVERED with black mold. Now, I’ve read up on the type of mold that it is and it’s very toxic! Everyone in my house is sick, and my landlord won’t take care of it! What should I do? We’ve already contacted the health department, and they don’t seem to take us seriously. I’m not sure whether to contact an attorney, or not. We gave this woman $1200 to move in, and we’re in the process of planning a wedding too, so we can’t afford to just up and move out until the end of August at best. What should we do until then? I have a newborn in my house, along with 2 other children! PLEASE HELP!!
