    Odor from Bathroom Sink
    Hello,
    I am going nuts with a recent odor in my 3-story old building apartment, I live in the third floor and a rare never smelled odor is coming from under my bathroom sink... I checked everything, ventilated the area for 2 days and the smell still there... It's a kind of organic odor, that I thought could be rotten food, but how could it be? I checked and nothing is leaking or wet, any suggestions? I really appreciate any ideas in what to do... or maybe how mold smells, (Im new to this place) and the owner doesn't seem to smell nothing... I don't know if he wants to get out of the problem or what... Thanks :( :confused:

    A mouse!! Hahah, it thought the same thing but I was courageous and I look and no mouse, maybe it can be hidden between the compartments, oh my god! I will clean it with bleach and see what happens... I also found out that this apartment was out of use for like 2 months and I read in other posts that some times lack of use causes odor when you use it again, Well thanks for the time in helping me out..! :)
