Morning people. Quick one. We live in a rental that's over 100 years old and hasn't had any investment since Harold Wilson took office.

We've noticed a few spots of mould around the windows and I'd like to know if there's anything we can do at the tenant level to combat this?

Thanks.

Because ££ I guess? She's not a terrible landlady by any means, but...she doesn't live here so what's a daily problem to us is a financial issue she doesn't need to deal with.

Can't really go with the window option, the five year old might be able to deal with that but the toddler won't, plus I refuse to splurge money on energy if it's going out the window.

Will bleach make any real difference? I've also heard that a dehumidifier can make help keep the air clean

Mould loves enclosed humid spaces. Open windows allow fresh air to circulate. Doesn't have to be wide open. I'd go with dilute bleach to kill and clean away the mould spores.
