Do I have to fix it?
I have a question to ask all the landlords out there. I have a tenant who has accumulated a lot of mold on top of the bathroom ceiling. He kept on asking me to repaint the bathroom because it was dirty and it was peeling. I explained to him that I don't repaint because it's dirty and also the dirt is from mold that can't/shouldn't be repainted over.
Judging from signs around the bathroom, I sense they are taking very hot showers and it's causing peeling in the paint on the wall and also mold and mildew. I helped them wiped down the mold and mildew but the paint is still peeling. There is a ceiling fan in the bathroom but I have a feeling they aren't using because it's generates cool air.
In this case, am I responsible to repaint their bathroom? What would everyone do in this situation?
