Mold Issues in Tenant Bathroom

[Calvin Kwan]

Hey Guys,

So my tenants have been complaining about mold that's showing up in their bathroom.  I just purchased the property and the previous landlord had remedied the situation by replacing the bad drywall and using mold resistant paint.  Unfortunately, the mold is back.

When I asked the tenants if they are opening the windows when they showered, they said they aren't as it is cold and uncomfortable.  I informed them that the reason mold keeps reappearing is because of the moisture in the room when showering.  

They don't seem to want to open the windows when showering, so how can I fix this problem.  They reported the previous landlord to the city for this same mold issue.  I want to fix the problem, but mold will continue to be an issue if they don't open the window for ventilation.

Any ideas here?

Thanks,
Calvin

I wire the bathroom fans to the light switches in rentals then they have to use the fans unless they take showers in the dark.. motion sensor would work too.
