@stilkov Yes. We were amused to see it included in the lease for our apartment in Munich. I’ve never seen that before elsewhere!

Ahhh. Our apartment lease came with an extra document about the need to air the rooms every day to prevent mould, and we were like, “Wait, what?” At least I know now it’s not just our landlord being weird. https://t.co/LHBr30f2mg

Good grief, it’s like Big Night here except with coffee.

I should add: if you’re not on this list and think you should be, please just ping me. It’s something I’ve added to piecemeal over the years, and if you’re not there, it’s probably because I just forgot to click the button. (I’m already finding people who I thought were there!)
