had a problem with the pointing and the bedroom walls were damp and moldy
I'd have thought the plaster and wall would have parted company had the moisture been coming in from the outside. Most 'FUCKING HELL OUR PLACE IS DAMP' issues come down to poor ventilation and indoor clothes drying.

I don't know what actual cause was, but it was a problem that existed when we moved in, we were told it was the the pointing and they would fix it when it was dry (they didn't) . We've moved into our own place now so it's not something I'm worrying about, but what I do know is that dehumidifier is incredible at removing moisture.

Or shit plumbing work in our case. This was the same cnut that couldn't install press-fit piping for my coffee machine.

Definitely get a dehumidifier, we've got one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meaco-Portable-Compact-Dehumidifier-DD8L/dp/B007X236NQ
It's a bit spenny but it's excellent, we were mainly using it for drying clothes but the last place we rented had a problem with the pointing and the bedroom walls were damp and moldy, we blasted that on and the walls were pretty much dry after about 3 days.
