Make-up vs Surgery . . . for your walls

Just painting over mold won’t solve the problem.

A cosmetic repair is just a quick and temporary fix. This is important to know as a home owner, but it is also important to know as a renter, especially if that renter has put their lives in the hands of apartment managers who attempt quick-fixes instead of actual remediation.
