mold issue
I just purchased a condo last week and turns out I have a mold issue in the bathroom - seems like its only minor as its only on the surface of the sheetrock and trim but its musty smell is strong in the bathroom and master bedroom. I would like to get rid of this smell before i rent it out. I don't think any of the pipes are leaking but should i remove the sheetrock to confirm? Also what is the best mold remover? Would an air purifier help with the smell?

Check the humidity level in the room. There's an app for that. Normal indoor levels are around 40 to 60%. Try to find the moisture source. Could be roof leak, or plumbing pipe leak, maybe a drain. Is there a unit above you? Good ventilation is also important. Exhaust fans in bathrooms help. I have installed bath exhaust fans and interlocked them with the light switch. Bleach mixture and then consider painting.
