Ventilation in rented apartment poor and windows 30 years old with condensation

rocksteady36

I recently moved into an apartment in an old block of apartments. The windows are so old and they do not keep out cold and are covered with condensation.

There is no ventilation in the rooms except the windows. I have a dehumidifier but have read they are not healthy to use too much..

I have read elsewhere that the building regulations state there must be ventilation in the rooms. My neighbour told me about the windows the day I moved in, all the apartments have same windows...

Does anyone know if I can make the landlord put in vents and replace the windows...Who can I contact for advice

Thanks.

For health reasons (mould) make sure your windows are kept partly ajar for ventilation.
