New apartment, air ducts were filthy

Whenever I move into a new place I love the feeling that it gives me.

It immediately seems like you are getting a fresh start to life when your surroundings change.

It also gives you the opportunity to start clean with all of your belongings and your surroundings. At least, a new place ideally should be clean and fresh when you move in. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience following my most recent move. I was really excited to get into this apartment and start life anew… Until I took a deep breath of the indoor air and realized that the air quality was definitely something to sneeze at. Apparently, the landlord is not a big fan of professional heating, cooling, and air quality control appointments. It is obvious by the low quality furnace and air conditioning unit installed in the apartment. Furthermore, I can tell that the air ducts have never been cleaned before. When I was trying to figure out what the strange dank, stagnant air quality was related to, I decided to look into the air vents. I popped a vent off the wall and was horrified to see a mound of dirt, gender, and debris sitting directly in the air vent. The further I looked, the more airborne contamination I saw clogging the air ductwork. When I called my landlord and complained about the low quality air and filthy ductwork, he didn’t have much to say. In fact, he rapidly hung up the phone on me. Now, it looks like I’ll be paying for a professional air duct cleaning myself, and taking the HVAC repair money out of next month’s rent.
