Military families file lawsuit against privatized base housing owner at MacDill over 'toxic mold'

TAMPA, Fla. — Families who lived on base at MacDill have just filed a lawsuit against the company that runs its privatized housing.

Those families, 39 of them, claim they lived in mold-ridden homes and their pleas for help were met with “corporate indifference”. The complaint states the defendants have a “cartel-like hold on the housing monopoly”.
