How to deal with bathroom mold

[Jennifer Fernéz]

Hi there,

I'm thinking about becoming a landlord and one thing I dread is the possibility of bathroom mold in the bathrooms.   I'm worried that if I buy an investment property that is outdated I may need to refinish the bathrooms, how could I do that on a budget, and can I do it myself with no experience?    I'm also worried that the tenants won't clean the bathrooms and mold will grow.   Is there any way to prevent this?   Also, if I buy a place that already has mold, how can I fix the problem?   Would the entire bathroom need to be gutted?   Can I keep a renter's deposit for mold?

Thanks,

Jennifer
