Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, the landlord is obligated to provide safe and conducive housing to the tenant. A more recent (Act 2018), under the law, stipulates that a property, specifically the more recent homes offered by the landlord, should be free of mould and damp.
Neglected homes with mould and damp, leaves tenants vulnerable to health issues which can impact pre existing conditions, such as asthma and allergies. It is the responsibility of the landlord to eliminate these unsuitable conditions and keep the property habitable, for the health and safety of the tenant.
