In the past few months, current tenant (who has been in since Feb 09) started complaining of excess moisture/mold; that her family's clothes are growing moldy while in drawers; that windows are all wet in the mornings; that it got so bad in the bedrooms that she made her family sleep in the lounge instead (hubby & 2 kids under 3yo).
She says that she ventilates every room almost daily, has her dehumidifer going 24/7 and still has problem.
I've not had this issue with the property before. Previous tenants haven't mentioned any moisture/mold problem, and during previous (winter) inspections, I've noticed the place is ok re. moisture/mold.
If I call HRV / DVS / MoistureMaster / etc to go and assess the situation, surely they wouldn't be impartial as they'll be wanting me to install their system.
Who do I call to go an impartial assess on how chronic the situation is?
Thanks.
