Where does mold come from? Do you risk “taking it with you” when moving from a moldy apartment to a not moldy one?
In: Biology
Technically, yes. Practically, no.
Mold can only grow in moist areas. If you’re having mold problems, you have moisture problems. That might be due to leaky plumbing, water coming through the foundation, or moist air condensing on cold surfaces. Remove the moisture, and the mold can’t form.
But, if you bring the moisture along with the mold spores from your old apartment, you could get the same mold in the new apartment.
