Hello,
we recently moved into a rental. We couldn’t really be choosy, our lease was coming to an end- we also moved cross country and had limited time to see properties. When we viewed this one it had recently been cleaned and I didn’t exactly notice the smell. The house sat empty for a while and then come move in day I notice it.
there’s a cloakroom cupboard by the door- noticeable mould spores and stinks of damp. I’ve left our coats in boxes but how long for.
under the stairs was made toy storage - I could smell the damp. Everyone (family) was like no it’s hardly there. Opening the door makes me feel ill- I am pregnant so heightened smell but it’s just wafting. Damp in the corner.
the upstairs airing cupboard no noticeable damp but open the door you can smell it.
every cupboard. Every door. There’s no noticeable sign for damp. And it’s a full rental. We have signed a year.
how do I get rid of damp when I don’t own the house and it’s all listed on the inventory so therefore it was there on move in and not new so they won’t do anything
im also heavily pregnant so limited on bleach use and we have a toddler in the house
