If you are a renter and have found mould at your place, have you had problems with your landlord? Did you resolve the problem? Other renters may be helped by your experience.

Vinegar has worked for me. Then spray some diluted clove oil. Unless the mould is very much structural, then you have to leave. Which many renters can't do at the moment.

since I own I use this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/30-seconds-1l-mould-off_p4460441 and plan on re-doing the bathroom in a few years when I've paid the place off with https://www.bunnings.com.au/dulux-1l-precision-stain-mould-blocker_p1400859

As a renter I complained, they sent someone out who re-painted the bathroom with I assume that stuff, was very happy

Maybe the products have improved but I remember painting the bathroom with anti-mould paint about ten years ago where I used to live but the mould came back.

If it's damp, mould will always come back eventually.

I have had pretty good luck with the product ikt mentioned though. Keeps it away for longer than most things.
