Mould and damp are caused by excess moisture in your home. Moisture in buildings can be caused by leaking pipes, rising damp in basements or ground floors, or rain seeping in because of damage to the roof or around window frames and cracks on exterior walls or render.
If you have mould or damp it's important to find out why you have excess moisture in your home and it is the responsibility of your landlord to get to the root of the problem and carry out any repairs that need doing. If you have reported a problem and repairs haven't been carried out, you may be able to claim for disrepair.
As unsightly as mould and damp in your home is, it's the profound effect that it can have on the health of not only children, babies and the elderly but anyone with eczema, respiratory problems (such as asthma), allergies and anyone with a weakened immune system.
If you, or anyone you know are living in a Council or Housing Association property that needs repairs carrying out, which have been reported to your landlord, but not carried out, contact us today and let us help you get the standard of property for you and your family that you deserve.
