I’ve been paranoid about how bad places in SF can be, and have had some issues with mold occasionally. I have a rent controlled apartment I’ve been in for 8 years, but I’ve done the maintenance myself to improve the place and keep health issues down, which largely boils down to making sure surfaces are sealed and cleanable: Paint the bathroom and use a mold killing primer. Refinished hardwood floors. Wash walls with TSP and paint using an oil-based primer (only one room so far, this was more for lead-based paint sealing) Keep the windows cracked often Clean the bathroom walls with bleach often (several times a year) Clean some other room walls with bleach occasionally (once a year) Clean window sills a few times a year Bought a dehumidifier (I will actually buy another soon) I don’t pay $3k+ a month though. One of the reasons I did all that work is precisely because I have been worried about moving to a new place, spending s fortune, only to find the landlord has never maintained it or knows how terrible it is.
