No, generally not. You have to a required to alert your landlord to a problem and give them time to fix it before you can sue them for it. Now if you can prove that they were a ware of the problem then you might have a case but if not then the courts will most likely side with the landlord and you will be the one stuck paying court bills.
There may be local laws or circumstances regarding this issue that I'm not aware of. If so your best bet is to do some research.

Can you sue your landlord for black mold and all the landlord did is put caulking over a small part of the black mold and the black mold is making all of us sick including my children?
Yes I am sure you can. If he or she (the landlord) didn't help at all and now the kids are sick because of it you can! But it's different if you made that mold. Another reason is if you do not even know how to fix the mold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps!
Can you sue your landlord if your cat dies of mold?
Yes, you may. If it can be proved your cat died of mold. And that the landlord had known of the mold for some time and done nothing about it. And if there were no other contributing factors, such as you not letting the landlord have access, not keeping things clean, etc. And just because you can sue, doesn't mean you'll win. And it's legally still debated what the worth of a house pet is, though there's been a recent case that would give it a far greater assigned value then before.
