Is it bad if my apartment doesn’t get any drafts in it? I want to block the front door gap, but my dad got mad and said this would cause mold issues.

How and why? I mean I don’t live there so why would it become humid?

It’s not really an option to keep it open cause I’m allergic to some of the stuff that comes in from the neighbours

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 would get a dehumidifier before resorting to wiping with bleach often. If you ever see mold, you already have a humidity problem. This may be isolated to your bathroom due to extra moisture from showers, but it’s still a problem that needs to be addressed. If it’s just the bathroom, a new shower fan (or just using the existing one) could be enough.
