A mother and her little girl who were run out of their apartment by toxic mold is entitled to double her security deposit, the appellate division of the New Jersey Superior Court has ruled.

According to the court’s written opinion released on Sept. 7, Jessica Marusiak and her 2-year-old daughter started renting an apartment here from Peter McCall in April, 2009. In early August 2009, Marusiak was rearranging her daughter’s room and “started finding mold everywhere. It was black, green, gray. It was creeping up her bookcase, it was on the bottom of all the furniture, it was on her toys.”
