bathroom vent?

we just remodeled our very small bathroom that does not have a window and therefore we had a contractor install a vent. he did not attach the fan to an outside vent hole and instead has it leading out into the ceiling. he states that this is typical in a small bathroom. just wanted to make sure this is correct info that i'm getting. thanks

Answers:
small bathroom here also...small vent in ours that pulls air into the attic....you probably have some kinda vent thingy on the roof of your house I'm sure so the bathroom vent shouldn't be any problem...if you don't have that vent thingy on your roof then you do need one....have a great day! : )

Other answers:
that vent should lead outside,better ask another contractor to look at it.

the moisture won't leave the bathroom unless it has a vent outside
check the attic. if the vent hose (about 4" flexible aluminum, like a dryer vent hose) is running from the fan to the edge of the attic and ends at a ventilated soffit (the flat underside of the roof where it overhangs the outside walls), you're probably all right.

if it just runs into the attic, you'll have moisture problems in the attic sooner or later. get someone in and have it checked/done over.
Many times this is true. Sometimes it is not best for your house, for instance if your house is too air tight, because it could cause humidity issues. A good contractor will have checked on this before venting it into the attic however.
