Living with damp and mould isn’t just unpleasant; it’s a serious health risk and a clear sign that your landlord may be neglecting their legal duties. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in housing disrepair claims and are here to help tenants take action when landlords fail to maintain safe, habitable living conditions.
Damp and mould: A sign of housing disrepair
Damp and mould are common problems in rented homes, especially when landlords ignore requests for repairs. Whether caused by leaks, poor ventilation, or rising damp, the result is often the same: damage to your home and a risk to your health. Mould spores can trigger asthma, respiratory problems, skin irritation, and even impact mental well-being, especially for children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions.
Your right to live in a safe home
Under UK law, your landlord has a duty to keep your property in a good state of repair. That includes fixing leaks, preventing damp, and ensuring adequate ventilation. If they fail to act within a reasonable time after you report the issue, you could be entitled to compensation for housing disrepair.
