No dryer but don't dry indoors

I don't think this is correct

I used to rent a flat that I owned which had a yard outside with a retractable washing line. It also had a conservatory. I asked my tenants to either dry outside or in the conservatory with the windows open &b the door to the rest of the flat closed to prevent mould. About 10-12 months into the tenancy I had a phone call from my tenants complaining about black mould. When I visited with my builder to inspect the mould I discovered that every radiator in the house had washing drying on them & none of the windows were open. Where did they think the water that evaporated off the laundry was going to escape to?!😡

Another dehumidifier queen here. In the small shower room downstairs, no windows eeek! But I put the airer up in there, turn on the fan and use the dehumidifier. Dry in no time. And no condensation either. A dehumidifier was the best money I've spent on electrical goods, and I've spent a lot on other things!

Its not impossible to dry things outside in winter its just trickier and takes longer. You have to watch the weather forecast for dry days. Get a dehumidifier.

Millions of people manage without tumble driers, they absolutely aren't essential.

I'm the opposite, owned but has a management company and not allowed to dry anything outside

If the ground is dry the washing will dry. I’m in Scotland and dry outside all year round

This .
Either this or he expects you drying at the launderette . I reckon he's had a bad experience with previous tenants and damp so has put rules in

Get a good dehumidifier and rock on. Honestly the best thing I bought, it’s absolutely been a game changer for us and I can keep on top of the washing much better 🤣

You will be fine drying indoors with a dehumidifier, no one will ever know!
I have friends who were landlords and when their last tenant left the house was full of mould everywhere. The house had previously belonged to their daughter who had lived there for 7 years with no issues at all with mould.
Many people simply don't understand that houses need to be aired regularly and that if mould starts to develop it can be kept on top of with a cloth and mould and mildew spray.

This is what I did.

Me too, @RampantIvy ! I live in Yorkshire, and it's frequently very damp, if not hammering rain.

Where in the north? We're in the north and dry outside all year.

I'd like to know where in the north it is dry all year.

I'm on the edge of the Pennines and we get a lot of rain and damp weather.

I dry outside whenever I can, but rarely manage it in winter.

I mainly use my tumble dryer for towels and bedding in winter, and line dry whenever I can.

Humidity has gone down to 75% now, which isn't great drying weather.

Indeed! Whatever makes a chore easier, is good! 👍

Which law are you referring to because I've never heard of such a law. Some people dry laundry at a launderette in the winter. Many tenants also provided their own white goods like washing machines and dryers.

Mine isn't modern and we don't have space for a better one right now. Washing is limited to one location, where it's warm and where the dehumidifier fits. As long as we have something that works for us, we're both happy. 👍

I just ignore it and dry indoors. I have no garden so no other option. As long as you keep the place ventilated and heated, you won't get mould. I've never had mould.

I suppose you just have to get a dryer yourself.

If the home was rented furnished, it would make sense to expect a dryer to be there.

When you are the one providing all home electronics, it wouldn't make sense to have there a solitary dryer - you might have your own, prefer different model.

Yes, I work outside the home. But I watch the weather forecast like a hawk! There might be a run of wet weather, but it doesn't usually last for days at a time and it's a matter of timing the laundry for a day when either I'm home all day or it's set to stay dry all day. There are a surprising number of these, even this far north! But then there's only me (and the dog) and I'm not having to contend with masses and masses of washing, so it's easier for me.

I have no space for those items and I hate damp washing around the place. Modern dryers are very economical to run and a huge time saver.

We had this in my old flat, contract was really strict re: airers because of mould/damp. Landlord provided a dryer but with no vent (it wasn't a condenser, it was supposed to have a vent in the wall to let the steam out). No garden. Landlord refused to put a vent in.

So we got a little dehumidifier on wheels and just dried stuff indoors anyway. Stuck it on spin twice to get rid of all the moisture we could, then stuck it on airers in the bathroom/spare room with dehumidifier for a few hours. Then just let it finish drying on its own with window cracked open. Just hid the airers and dehumidifier in our wardrobe whenever he came round. Lived there 7 years and he never clocked. No extra damp/mould anywhere.

Dehumidifier cost about £150 but probably cost the same to run as a dryer tbh. Took it with us when we bought a house and still use it when there's loads of washing and it's chucking it down, or if it's really muggy in the summer.

I'll dry outside today.
I often wonder why I've bothered when I bring it is feeling as damp as when I put it out, and cold to boot. But it finishes drying in a fraction of the time a load that hasn't been outside.
I wouldn't have dried outside yesterday, so didn't do a load yesterday.

I choose not to dry my clothes in my house as I don't want damp in my home.

I dry outside wherever possible (even in winter) and have a tumble drier

Why does being a tenant make your situation any different? Your LL isn't providing your white goods and isn't there to solve all life's problems.

We don't use our (oldish) drier much but we have airers and a dehumidifier.

Buy a Lakeland dry soon.
Yes it’s drying inside but it’s not wet clothes on radiators.
comes with a cover and big enough for a family.

Doesn’t cost what a dryer to does to use . It’s around 9p and hour . Does cost around £200 to purchase. I think they are down to around £150 just now not sure if that’s with the cover though .

Get a washer/dryer. Anything really large that needs drying, take to the laundrette. Or dry the laundry in the garage with an airer/dehumidifier combo.
