Is the condo block some sort of a for-lease-apartment?singasian wrote:I have very serious mold problem in my condo. It suddenly starts to growing on furniture, sofa, dinning table, tea table, desk, chairs, even food due to high humidity in the unit. I even see the living room floor wet in the morning. Landload came 3 times to see it. But, it still there.
I am wondering if i can move out without paying any fees?. I have lived here only for 4 months in 2 years lease.
If you have good sunlight into your home, that is a huge plus. Most apartments here are build too close together, so most don't get much sun.prkravi wrote:My second issue of corrosion has nothing to do with Mold.
And yes i stay below the tree level - 02.
Since my apartment has ample sunlight, i will still stand by the fact that sun light has kept ANY mould away from my apartment, i keep my windows open most of the time.
Hi Jackdi, the problem with getting another unit is that, most owners / management will repaint the unit before showing or renting out, and most will paint over the molds.jackdi wrote:Is the condo block some sort of a for-lease-apartment?singasian wrote:I have very serious mold problem in my condo.

If yes, ask the management to give you another similar type of unit.
And this time, check for the "molds".
At least, this wouldn't be break lease.
And its more diplomatic.
Yep. In the last unit we eventually (after c. 2 years) discovered that water was ingressing down inside the main internal structural wall of our bedroom. This was apparently coming from a fault in the air-con drain in the unit above us. But water leaks are notorious for traveling, and this water also spread horizontally and came in down inside one wall of the study opposite our bedroom. These were the two rooms most affected by mold.ev-disinfection wrote:If you have good sunlight into your home, that is a huge plus.

But as we are very humid (80%++) in Asia, there is a lot of moisture in the air, and because we have so much moisture, condensation occurs faster, which is a cause for mold growth, the second most common factor for indoor mold would be leaky pipes (mostly found in the false ceilings)
As for your corrosion, most electrical plugs especially for audio and visual cables will corrode in power foam, to counter this, switch off your main socket that the power cord is plug into.

The ground floor place I had, had little airflow, and it goes without saying I could not leave the windows open when I was not there...
