Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio

I�ve been living my home since June of 1998. For the last 3-4 years two of my bedrooms and back room are growing black mold. I�ve told the landlord about this, and he thought that he solved the problem by adding woodchips up the side of the house to stop the rain from getting in. That didn�t work, and the next year, the mold came back. The next year, he sent his landlady out to "kill" on the mold in the rooms. The "kill" was nothing but white paint, and the mold grew right thru the paint. Now this year, its came back again, But it�s worse than ever. All of the walls in the bedrooms have spots on it. All the rooms smell of mold when you enter them. I recently found out my attic has mold growing too, but when I went back up there recently it had seem to dried up. I�ve been living in black mold for almost 5 years now, and he has refused to do ANYTHING besides paint it. I�m curious what I can do about this. What rights do I have about this issue. It may also be causing health problems to my daughter who is now getting nose bleeds as she stays in the room. Any advice would be great.
