I am new to all of the DIY home improvements so any advice is very appreciated! We have been living in our 1950's style home for a couple of years now, but just recently bought it. It needs quite a few improvements but the major one is the bathroom...it's alive! The paint is peeling and chipping and there is mold growing on the ceiling. The landlord had said before we moved in that they replaced the fan and made sure it was blowing to the outside as it previously hadn't and was just blowing into the attic and cleaned the mold that was growing in both the bathroom and attic. After moving in it grew! Any advice on what to do!? I don't want it to continue cracking and peeling if I put a couple new layers of paint so should I strip it all off or scrape the cracked paint off and spackle over spots left to make an even surface?

Hello I recently stripped the wallpaper, filled and and sanded the walls of a bedroom of a house about 90 years old. I then applied 2 -3 coats of Leyland Acryllic Primer Undercoat. In some places this has lots of paterned cracking. It seems to be ok on the areas I have skim coated but not on the original wall plaster. Please can someone advise me on what to do now? Did I use the wrong sort of Primer? Also I have some Dulux oil based paint that I want to finish the walls off with. Will this be compatible with the Primer I have already used? Many thanks in advance
