Reply to comment by judoporkchop in please help, advice needed about rental by judoporkchop

It's sad it comes to that but it's the best idea I have had a roof leak for three years which causes terrible flooding but it never gets fixed.

Ugh sorry to hear that. Fortunately our landlords have actually been very reasonable people. This is a basement bathroom with no windows, but for that reason we have made sure since moving in to keep the fan on during and post showers, use the heater in there to dry it up after a shower and leave the door open to release moisture. It's always smelled a little musty downstairs from time to time but we figured just because it's a basement...so idk maybe a little naive on our part for not investigating months ago.

Then why won't LL clean the SB mold then?

Ah sorry if unclear...I discovered this early afternoon, had no idea where to start and wanted advice before contacting them. However, I have yet to hear back from them.

Lets hope for the best but in my experience LL won't help on mold issues,the others poster idea on vinager might be worth researching.Bleach is strong stuff.

Stachybotrys fungi can be killed and anti-biotics can help post exposure but if you don't hear from LL get it cleaned someway soon.

Back when I lived in Belows Falls VT some years back the LL just painted over the mold.
