Damp and Mould in rented property

If you rent your home, major repairs are usually the responsibility of your landlord. This includes repairs to the structure and exterior of the property, heating and hot water installations, and sanitary installations.

Standards in your home

properties should also be free of health and safety hazards, landlords should ensure that problems in the home are dealt with before they lead to poor health or cause accidents.

Hazards can arise in the home because of its design, wear and tear, or a lack of maintenance. The most common hazards involve:

Mould growth, Dampness and other health threatening conditions
Safety, internal and external handrails, steep stairs and poor lighting which may lead to slips trips or falls
Poor insulation, Inadequate heating and general disrepair
Problems causing inadequate personal and domestic hygiene
Fire safety

In general it is the landlords responsibility to check and ensure the property is maintained as a warm and safe environment for the people who live there. The landlord may also need to take into account the requirements of tenants with special needs.

Tenants rights, how to get help

Any problems in rented property which could be a hazard should be brought to the attention of your landlord. Your landlord should be given a reasonable amount of time to put things right. It is always best to talk with your landlord first and have a chance to exchange views but if your landlord doesn't do anything to improve the situation, you can contact an environmental health officer at your local council, who can take action against your landlord to enforce the required improvements.

Customer Feedback

A very friendly, professional service.

An experienced surveyor, visited the property promptly and the work was done by quality tradesmen who left the property redecorated and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company for any further work that may arise in the future. It is also reassuring that you can always speak to someone when you phone, unlike many businesses who use answer machines.
