It was either that or live in a really skanky love motel for the duration.
My new place is the place I lived for the first month here. It's huge (2bdrm), and while it was kinda crappy before, now that it is renovated, it is seriously awesome. Everything except the cabinets is brand new, and the bathroom was completely redone from scratch. I haven't been able to move back in yet, but it was unlocked the other day and I poked my head in. |

Their apartment was like a palace to me. |

| I would have bleached the ever-living *beep* out of those walls. It would still be ugly, but clean. |

I just kept the door closed. I didn't have any furniture (all I was given was a bed and a mold-filled fridge), so it's not like I could have used the room anyway. My table was a cardboard box. |

Well, at least thing are looking up! 
Suggestion - wipe off/wash anything that was in that apartment, i.e. your clothes, with a 50/50 mix of vinegar (5%) and water to kill the spores.
P.S.
Believe it or not, certain moulds/mildew can actually use bleach as a nutrient.  |

Google says it's no good on moldy wood, but works well on tiles which is what I use it for... |

Organic material + chlorine + mould = bad!
Inorganic material + chlorine + mould = mould die... faster than K in room with fan on and all doors & windows shut.  |

Sadly, almost everything in an apartment building is organic! |

| I would have bought some new sheets and moved into the love motel in a minute. That is the worst apartment I have seen in Korea. |

In the love motel I would have had no way to cook, no way to do my laundry (which I didn't have anyway, as they never gave me the washer they promised me), and the one love motel here is REALLY seedy. |

So you've been without a washer for four months? From this and your other threads, I just don't get why you haven't done a runner. Yeh yeh 2.7/month... they know you won't give that up so they feed you shit and know you'll take it. |
