Damp and mould housing advice
Damp and mould is a common problem but if untreated it can be dangerous to your health. Most Damp and Mould is caused by condensation through poor ventilation, which does not fall under disrepair. However, there may well be other factors such as external defects with the property or rising damp caused by a failing damp proof course. So, it is important that you act quickly in reporting persistent damp and mould
