In a tenant vs. landlord situation involving a flea infestation, can I provide vet records in court if the landlord is aware of the issue but has not effectively resolved it? The landlord brought in pest control but did not treat the yard, and the infestation persists, causing health issues for my dog and myself. I've exhausted all efforts to resolve this, including going to housing authorities and community action groups, and now I'm seeking to terminate the lease due to the landlord's breach of the warranty of habitability.

I went to see a new doctor today and was asked to sign a 'LIFETIME Authorization' form that allows any holder of my medical information to release it to XXX and its agents without a revocation option.

Is it legal for them to require this, and what options do I have?
