Lint trap is easy. Exhaust ducts are the real danger. Not only can lint build up in those, but critters like birds and mice can make nests in them which further blocks the airflow. Even if you have the outside vent gated off, they can get stuck open enabling access for critters into the duct. Clean out your ducts at least once a year.
It's absurd that building codes don't require some sort of inspection or access to the vent if it's not a simple straight-through-the-wall affair.
Slum lord gunna slum. I’d say many swap them out when new tenants move in
I've seen million-dollar homes that don't do this either.
