There is naturally occuring mold in the environment, so testing will result in a mold positive. Once you get rid of the water, the mold will also go away. It's only dangerous when you distrub it.

It is a little different YOU kicking a door in and the association or Police doing it.
I think EVERY burglar in the world would use that line " I was worried someone inside may be hurt."

Expect that the person that broke the door down lives next door and his home was being flooded.

Sounds like an excellent insurance company to me.
Pretty funny trying to get you to pay for the door!
Yeah I definitely laughed at that, too.
Guy, sharing walls with that management company is a good reason I can't bring myself to share a wall.
A good reason to have good insurance.
What you did is behave like a good neighbor. What THEY did was act like a maroon.

And the OP told 911 he was doing it. Absolutely nothing wrong with Smith357's actions.

Just because I'm a condo owner, what was the cause of the leak? Maybe a frozen burst pipe, bad faucet, broken hose to washer, or my favorite of all cracked commode tank?
Being both a former Realtor and a current Property Manager, as well as a General Contractor, I can tell you, don't get caught up in the "mold" hysteria. Mold requires 2 things to grow, food and water (kinda like most living organisms). If you eliminate the water, the mold will die. (The food is the paper on the back of the sheetrock or drywall) Mold has become the latest and greatest of the scare tactics out there today. Before that it was radon and before that it was UFFI.
Do you know what the cure for radon is? Open a window.
If you read the study that was done that created the radon panic, you will find that your kids would have to live in the basement, never go outside, never grow over 3 feet tall and then they will have a 3% higher chance of getting cancer. Hell, if they stay in the basement that much, they will probably have mushrooms growing out of their ears.
Let the insurance company handle it and due to the "moroon", make sure not to forget the $6,000 oriental rug that had to be thrown out and the 80" flat screen TV that was laying flat under the tree and not yet installed that was ruined by the water.

It might be a good idea to get your neighbor's key.
