Condo HVAC filter
I am doing some cleaning, and pulled out the vent cover in my condo. I changed the filter however should I be changing this black thing? What is it and how do I change it?

Thats just sound insulation, no need to change it.
Can vacuum the dust off of it if wanted to

are you actually responsible for the air filter? the reason I'm asking is because when I previously had a condo, the filter change was part of the maintenance fee, they changed it every so often

I am responsible for changing it myself. I asked property management about air filter and they said to just pick up the filter from their office which I did and changed the filter part (the white thing in the photo, but when I took out the lid, I saw this black thing as well and wasn't sure what that was.rogerrabbit168 wrote: ↑ are you actually responsible for the air filter? the reason I'm asking is because when I previously had a condo, the filter change was part of the maintenance fee, they changed it every so often

my property management sent an email saying changing your HVAC filter every 3 to 6 months will help prevent leaks and floods. can anyone care to explain how?
