Follow up question: is it true that turning the bathroom fan on won't do anything, if there isn't somewhere outside the apartment that air can be drawn from?

I don't understand what you mean when you say you "don't live there" ?

Regardless, if you consider mold in general then the room which most typically gets mild growing is the bathroom, because it's moist and warm which is perfect condition.

It doesn't take much to get mild growing in other places too though. If you have moisture in the air then mould could happen.

Good ventilation helps prevent mould because it lets the humid air created from normal activities like cooking and washing escape and be replaced with drier air from outside - assuming you live in a climate that doesn't have crazy humidity.

As in, I don't live in the apartment, I'm living somewhere else currently. So, nobody uses any water, does any laundry, cooks etc. there.

So I don't understand how it could become humid inside my apartment.

Fair :) But on that basis why are you wanting to block things off if neither you nor anyone else is living there?

That wasn't my question
