Painting the House Question

Hi guys,
The Landlord renovated our bathroom
because there was rotting wood behind the bathrub

anyways
it's almost ready to paint

would it be safe to paint it with latex paint?
and then close the door and leave the windows open in the bathroom (it's getting super duper wet and cold here)


also i do wanna to paitn other rooms in the place as well

from what i've been reading there are not paints available on the market with NO VOCs (volitile organic compounds) in it.

But that's the thing tho, when it's wet it will have fumes no matter what paint u use
after it cures it obviously will have disapated

but comparatively latex paitns have less VOCs then Oil based paints


what do u guys think?

We HAVE to paint the bathroom
But I would also like to paint the entire place in sections over time

Why not call Mythic and see if there is an online dealer or someone that just started in your area? It is a toll free call!
Mythic Paint
I do not think the search on the page works. I even tried a NYC zip and it said no!
