I see that blackspyder has found the living avatars thingy. Anyone else try and what do you think? I was about to try it but am a bit confused as to what it does. We use points to buy clothes for the avatars?

I live in an apartment building and about 6 weeks ago we noticed that the floor tiles in our foyer were coming up. We also noticed on the wall that there was a large amount of paint bubbling. So we knew there was a leak somewhere.

We called our landlord and they had someone come over and found that their was a hole in the bathtub drain in the apartment above us. This was fixed and the holes in our apartment were plastered up. A few days later we noticed that the section they plastered was staining, which led us to believe that the wall is still wet. They agreed and said when the wall drys they will replaster/paint.

Subsequently, we found that our closet smelled horrible and when we moved stuff around, we found black spots (mold/mildew?) all over the walls. So we emptied the closet, called the landlord and they wiped down the walls with chlorine/ammonia. Since then no signs of mildew. The closet, though, is still humid and has a strong musty/nasty smell to it. As I rent, its impossible to get them to do anything but give us a high powered fan and them tell us to keep the door open to the closet and run the fan to dry it out.

Is this reasonable to do? Should they be doing more to fix this?

Today I went out and bought a dehumidifier as I feel that will probably do the best thing in getting the area dry by sucking out the water? That make sense?

Should I get an air purifier to remove the smell or will removing the water accomplish that?

Any advice appreciated.
