Asbestos is a very serious and growing problem. I would check with a county attorney to see what laws are applicable for tenants who are suffering from asbestos infestation. If no laws were being broken, I would try to talk to my land lord.
One can see asbestos removal laws by state on government websites such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, state health department websites, or state-specific environmental protection agency websites.
No, the three-day right to cancel a contract typically does not apply to apartment leases. Once both parties sign the lease, it is considered legally binding. It's important to carefully review and understand the terms of the lease before signing.
Most areas will have by-laws about covering asbestos.
Yes.
Most leases allow the owner to have access to the apartment with reasonable notice. This doesn't mean that they can keep coming into your apartment every week/day and there must be a stated reason for their requested access. I am speaking of rent laws in most of the US. When in doubt--Read Your Lease!! Too many people rush through without reading all of it and just sign.
that depends on alot of things, like state and local laws.
That depends on the laws where you are. As is, we don't know this, and cannot accurately assess which laws pertain to you.
Yes. There are several federal laws which regulate the use of asbestos. Asbestos is a dangerous chemical compound which has been linked with the cause of lung damage and various beathing diseases like Mesothelioma. In 1998 asbestos use was banned but a subsequent ruling, in 1991 by the Supreme Court over turned the ban. Asbestos use is now regulated by federal, state and local agencies of which the Envirnomental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oakland Liviningston Human Service Agency are most well known.

There are different laws and regulations surrounding the disposal of asbestos depending which country you are from. In the UK if the Asbestos is friable then it should be removed by a qualified contractor, if it's non-friable then it can be included in domestic bins.
If you want the job that involves asbestos handling, and are given proper training and protective gear, then you probably have to work with asbestos. But it depends on the laws and regulations of the country in which you are working.
