Salve, sono qui per chiedervi cosa posso fare in questa situazione. Ho già applicato due volte l’HG rimuovi muffa, ma continua a ripresentarsi più violentemente di prima. Sono al primo piano ed entrambe le pareti esterne hanno questo, ma questo è il più intenso. Sulla stessa parete c’è una stufa e dietro è completamente coperta. Ho provato a contattare il mio padrone di casa ma è impossibile raggiungerlo. Non prende mai il telefono e non risponde ai messaggi. Ce l’ha anche la mia vicina del piano di sotto, e neanche il suo padrone di casa fa niente. Immagino che venga da lei, ma temo che stia influenzando la nostra salute dato che siamo stati entrambi malati di più. Andare via in questo momento non è un’opzione perché siamo completamente al verde. Cosa possiamo fare per rimediare a questo? Abbiamo qualche opzione legale? Chi è responsabile di risolvere questo problema, noi o il proprietario?

Move. That and don’t let him convince you it’s your responsibility. His insurance will cover the ‘gevolgschade’, but only that.
If it returns, there’s two possible causes.
1. You’re not ventilating the area. So it’s just too humid indoors because of your activity. In that case, there should be multiple spots scattered around the place.
2. There’s humidity infiltration. In that case, it’ll be in a specific spot, like lines on the bottom or the top of the wall, or even an entire wall. This is something that requires major works (opening the wall usually) to fix, so that’s a landlord problem.
You can move out or start a case in court. For the latter, see a lawyer – you can already document the mold with pictures. Don’t do anything that could backfire, like holding your rent.
I would start by joining the Huurdersbond. It’s fairly cheap and comes with free legal aid.
Outside wall/gutter/.. needs to be fixed. Obviously a leak somewhere.
Please! For the love of God. Go to the huurdersbond.
AFAIK they will say: document the mould. Write a “aangetekende brief”. If the landlord do not respond and/or fix the issue, contact the municipal government to have the rental unit declared unfit to live, your landlord will be obliged to pay a fee to you amounting to the rent of the rest of your rental contract because your contract will be nullified.
Meanwhile, look for a new apartment because fuck this landlord he’s a fucking huisjesmelker.
cold bridge + lack of ventilation. Damp air settles on the coldest spots. Avoid hanging wet clothes to dry indoor and air the place sufficient.
Most cities have a contact to start up a procedure to see if a residence is OK to live in.
Last landlord also never replied and if he did, tried to make me pay the bills.
Had an organization come over to check if the place was still livable. We were far from livable (place was high risk).
Landlord had to fix or place would be locked + pay big fine.

Best option is talk to a lwayer or an organisation like huurdersbond.
You could send a registered letter informing the owner you will start paying like 20% less in a month if the problems arent resolved by then. (ENAC)
ITS IMPORTANT YOU SEND THIS LETTER BEFORE YOU START PAYING LESS AND YOU HAVE NO AMOUNTS DUE.
yiu can always go fot legal advice by the ” juridische tweedelijnsbijstand” from your city.
For sure go to the huurdersbond, however there’s a way to get rid of this temporarely (been in a similar situation in the past). You can buy “HG” anti-schimmelspray for about 10 euro’s and it will get rid of the mold for a while in order to protect you + family members in there. It worked really well for me. Also make sure you open the windows/ventilate at least once a day.
I hope these tips help and your landlord does something structural about it! Good luck!
