Regardless of what that property manager wants. You are protecting the owner of the property. Tell that property manager you will need to keep it open for a few days before covering it up. To give it ample drying time and to spray it with bleach a few more time. Let them know this is the proper procedure in taking care of the problem. If they insist then next move would be to call the owner directly. Then start looking for another job. Be sure you have given the mold ample time to have air to it.

You could discuss the matter by "going over the manager's head" to someone in a higher position of authority, couldn't you? If not, you could report it to the Codes Office or Licenses and Inspections of the municipality where the property is located. UNLESS that manager is transferred or fired - because of what you did, more than likely, you won't be called back for any future work at that complex. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! KUDOS & APPLAUSE [clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap] to you for having scruples and being honest!

They will probably really like to know that you've been told to "cover up" mold that could be a serious health issue to anyone who lives in the apartment.
