How Tenants Can Prevent Condensation & Mould

Condensation is one of the most common winter issue in Edinburgh flats — especially older tenements.

Why It Happens

Moisture + cold surfaces = water droplets.

This builds into mould if not managed daily.

Daily Habits That Prevent Issues

• Open trickle vents

• Wipe down bathroom surfaces

• Use extractor fans properly

• Avoid drying clothes on radiators

• Keep rooms warm, even at low levels

• Open windows for 30 minutes each day

What Landlords Must Provide

• adequate ventilation

• functioning heating

• safe, habitable conditions

If You See Black Mould

Notify your agent immediately.

Treat early using mould-killer spray and report recurring patterns.

Please don't leave it unchecked.
