Mould Risk Analytics gives you a portfolio-wide view of mould risk conditions across your rental units over time. It surfaces which properties are at elevated or significant risk so you can take action before visible mould develops protecting your property, your guests, and your maintenance budget.
Understanding mould risk levels
Minut calculates mould risk continuously from temperature and humidity data. When certain combinations persist over extended periods, conditions become favourable for mould growth. Risk is classified in three levels:
No risk: Current conditions do not support mould growth
Elevated risk: Conditions are starting to favour mould; monitor closely and consider action
Significant risk: Conditions strongly favour mould growth; investigate and act promptly
Minut detects conditions, not mould itself. Elevated or significant risk means the climate inside the unit is favourable for mould growth and it does not confirm that mould is present. A physical inspection is needed to determine whether mould has actually formed, particularly in areas like windows, behind furniture, or under carpets where local conditions may differ from the room average.
What you can see in the analytics view
Risk trend over time: how mould risk levels have changed across your portfolio in the selected period
Units by risk level: a breakdown showing how many units are at no risk, elevated risk, and significant risk
High-risk unit list: the specific properties with elevated or significant conditions, so you can prioritise which to inspect or treat first

What to do when risk is elevated or significant
Increase temperature: raising room temperature reduces relative humidity, lowering mould risk
Improve ventilation: open windows between stays or ensure the HVAC system is running adequately
Install a dehumidifier: particularly effective for properties in humid climates or with known moisture issues
Inspect the property: check areas most prone to localised mould: around windows, behind sofas, under carpets, in bathrooms
Risk levels change slowly. It may take several weeks after taking action before the risk level drops. This is normal as the sensor is measuring sustained climate conditions, not immediate changes. Keep monitoring and check back after 2–4 weeks.
