Mold in the children's room

Good day, you really need to do something quickly about the mold, it quickly affects your health. If the landlord stalls you, then reduce the rent; that always gets people moving quickly, because just talking and asking doesn't help.

Hello, I had the same problem once, the landlord wanted to convince me that it was because I didn't ventilate enough. However, others also had the same problem. Listen around the house if anyone else has mold on the wall, then it surely can't be your fault.

Hi, thanks for the many replies. As an addition possibly the following. The room smells musty or already different than in the other rooms. I can exclude the rain pipe because it is not installed there. However, the exterior wall is not insulated and we have a flat roof. I actually get along great with the tenant and I will definitely talk to him again and also inquire at the health department because in our household 4 people have asthma and I cannot rule out that it comes from this because we have lived here for 4 years and with 2 children the complaints only started here.

I do find it difficult to reduce the rent but health is worth it to me if he does not act after the next conversation. His exact words were "That's not so bad, just wipe it away!"

What I noticed is the following. We have a hygrometer (is that the right word?) and in the room in question always a higher humidity than in the other rooms with exactly the same and meticulous ventilation and heating behavior. That actually speaks for something being wrong, right? Or that it can't be caused by the ventilation, especially since we ventilate and heat equally in all other rooms and have no problems at all.

Regards

With higher humidity, the likelihood of mold is naturally significantly increased, which is certainly not good, especially in [Kinderzimmer].

With higher humidity, the likelihood of mold is obviously increased, which is certainly not good, especially in children's rooms.

Hi, that is correct, but elevated humidity is certainly not present at levels that always stay below 55%. Moreover, I am skeptical that indoor humidity alone could soak the ceiling paint over a large area enough for it to peel off :-)
