Damp and mould are among the most common — and most serious — problems tenants face in rented homes. Beyond the unsightly stains and musty smell, prolonged exposure can trigger respiratory problems, aggravate asthma and allergies, and pose a particular risk to children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions. A damp and mould claim allows tenants to seek compensation when a landlord fails to put the problem right.
Damp can take several forms, including condensation, penetrating damp from a leak or structural fault, and rising damp from the ground. Whatever the cause, the responsibility to keep a property free from serious damp usually lies with the landlord — not the tenant. When mould spreads because repairs are ignored, the effects can extend from ruined furniture and clothing to genuine harm to your health.
Under UK law, landlords have a legal duty to keep rented properties safe and fit to live in. If you have reported damp or mould and your landlord has failed to take reasonable action within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to claim compensation and have the necessary repairs completed. Our team helps tenants understand their rights and take action.
