Tenant items covered in mold
Hi BP-
I am a RE investor and also a tenant of a large apartment complex.
I have lived in the apartment for 3 months and noticed today that A LOT of my items are covered in mold. Mainly clothes in my closet and shoes. Probably a couple thousand dollars worth of belongings.
We have determined that it is due to poor ventilation. Our closet is next to the shower. Shower head has mold on it, as well as vents.
How should I expect this to be resolved? Is this my problem or should the landlord be expected to cover costs for fixing/replacing compromised items due to the fact that the problem resulted from apartment not functioning properly?
(Seems to be surface level mold, not black mold)
Thanks for the help!
