They exist, but affects on humans have never been proven

First, what causes it? Simple physics. Humid air in contact with a cold surface = liquid water.

You need to attack it from both sides: First, take humidity out of the air. Dehumidifiers are an easy solution. Second, make the window glass less cold. That means better insulated windows, which you probably can't do in a rental.

In any case, the mold isn't gonna hurt you. The whole "EHRMEGERD TOXIC MOLD!" is nonsense. Spray the sill with some mildew cleaner that you use in your shower every week and you won't see any mold on your sill.

Reply to Help Request - Gutter Repair by GeneralInspector8962

Get up on a ladder.

Clean the gutters.

Get a long spirit level and check to see if both parts are sloped. They appear to be from your pictures.

If they are properly sloped, you probably have a leak in the corner piece. Clean up the joints on the inside and apply something like FlexSeal to fix the leak. OR the downspout could be clogged. Un-clog it, then test everything with a garden hose.

Reply to how cold is your house? by bdana666

Fun Fact:

The World Health Organization recommends keeping indoor temperatures between 64 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit for healthy people. The minimum temperature should be kept above 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect the very young, the elderly, or people with health problems.

We want you to get the help you're looking for. If you have any of these questions, some places to get help are:

  • Please include what research you have done in your question so that others do not repeat your steps.
