Combating Mould And Mildew With Bathroom Sealant Apart from being deeply unattractive mould and mildew can cause some nasty allergies, ranging from sore throats and coughing to eye irritation and inflammation. Mould and mildew love warm damp conditions and for this reason they are most commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens. If left unchecked they can also lead to rot and further damage, so the sensible DIY man or woman will try to combat them before they get chance to take hold.

Should Condos or HOAs Screen Renters or Owners? Should Condos or HOAs Screen Renters or Owners? Some Thoughts and Possible Consequences of Screening ApplicantsIn April of this year, a Nova Southeastern University professor, Joseph Morrissey, was slain in his home. The alleged killer, Randy W. Tundidor, had rented a townhome from Mr. Morrissey at The Vineyards of Plantation in South Florida. On it's surface, it appeared to be a random tragedy.But in July Mrs. Morrissey, Joseph's widow, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the management company and the condominium association for The Vineyards, despite the facts that the death didn't occur in the community and that Mr. Morrissey didn't live in the community. Her claim? That because the association had screened Mr. Tundidor before allowing him to rent the unit, they had a duty to uncover and report past events, such as prior evictions, that would have identified Mr. Tundidor as a problematic tenant, potentially avoiding Mr. Morrissey's death.
