Basically in our apartment there was a mold problem that scarcely worth mentioning until one day when we moved our dresser. It was terrible and disgusting. We immediately called our boss and she said that she would get the superintendent on it when the week came. Now the school is saying it is a problem we need to fix because we didn't follow appropriate action to fix the mold! Basically she said that we should have run our heat more and opened the windows on rainy days. How should we have known that? I've lived in plenty of dumpy places and not done that and been fine.

I can't even imagine how much it will cost to remove the mold since it seems to be widespread. I want to stand and fight for this, but I think my school is too lazy to argue with a hardheaded superintendent. What do you think?

Most contracts stipulate that the tenant is responsible for any matenience(sp?) of the apartment. I'd say that you'd have to buy a bottle of bleach and try to knock it out yourself.. Good luck

Upload a picture for us so we can advise you on what to do. Also, a dehumidifier might be in order, start looking for one.

I found some in my place and just ripped that patch of wallpaper off and scrubbed it with bleach. Later on I showed it to the landlord, cos I was worried about losing my apt deposit, and he said "Good job."

Just wear a mask and scrub the shit out of it. It's not like it's asbestos or something. Are you the kind of person who screams "eeeeeekkkkkk!" and jumps on a chair, when they see a mouse?

I had a mold problem going in my bathroom recently and bleach in a spray bottle works. Just spray on walls, fixtures, floor, and especially any rubber like cauking regularly. When you see black dots and spots, you are already having upper respiratory issues from breathing mold spores. Takes about 3 to 5 days to resolve with rox.

With summer humidity on the rise, it's time to move furniture away from the wall. About the width of a hand should suffice to allow air to circulate.

To remove mould, wear a mask, and wipe it off with an old damp cloth.
Then scrub the area with vinegar, and ventilate the place for the rest of the day.

If you have mould now, it's probably going to get worse by July in other places.
Move furniture and increase ventilation, don't close doors unless you have too.
Close (spread) shower curtains to let them dry completely.

Go to Emart and get yourself some mold remover (comes in a green spray bottle)... Basically just bleach, but it won't give you chemical burns on the inside of your nose... Also make sure you've got all the windows open when you're cleaning up
