You’re welcome!
You can get oil of cloves at the chemist, or go here http://www.oilofcloves.com.au. (no I have no association with that site!)
Only you would know how much of a security risk it would be to leave the window open, another option is bars for security. Again you would need OC approval, but they can’t really refuse that. Similarly if you were refused permission to put a fan in the bathroom you would have good grounds for saying they were unreasonable.
The tenant sounds pretty precious, if they are so intent on keeping the windows shut then no wonder there is a problem. Because of an issue we have had here, I know far more about damp than I have ever wanted to know, and it is confounding how people think that it is fine to have absolutely no air passing through. And then they wonder why it is damp.
Re the rewiring, I don’t really agree that the fan would have to come on with the light, that would drive me crazy, I like to be able to do the light and fan separately, because you don’t always need the fan, and I hate the noise they make. But that’s just me.
