My current one has poor insulation but I'll take that any day over the mould. Last place I lived in had mould in the bedroom during winter, and when we raised it with the property manager their "solution" was to drill an extra hole in the sliding door so it could be locked open. Every winter we slept with this door partially open so the room would remain the same temperature as outside and prevent the moisture and condensation from forming on the glass, walls and in the corners of the carpet. We were literally sleeping in close to zero degree temperatures some nights, it was crazy.

Yep fuck mould. I used to live in a property that had water in the roof and mould would grow on every wall and ceiling. Landlords 'solution' to this was buying us a bottle of mould off. When we asked for a rental reduction they rejected it because "every home in Brisbane has mould".
