KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Keep a record of everything. That way if your landlord does not act, you will have access to the evidence you need.
• Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air relative to the maximum amount of moisture that the air can hold.
• High relative humidity provides the moisture moulds need to grow.
• The right low-energy fan will remove moisture from the air. They only cost a few pounds a year to run.
• Simple things like putting lids on pans when cooking reduce moisture and condensation.
• Don´t open your windows if it is foggy, raining, or it feels damp outside.

BEST MOMENTS

“The ideal relative humidity level for preventing the growth of mold is between 35% and 60%.”

“Regularly monitor humidity levels with a hydrometer.”
