What is Mould and why is it dangerous?

Mould is a fungus that grows in damp conditions and can cause health problems. It can be black, green, or grey and has a musty smell. It can grow on any surface, but it is most common on walls, ceilings, and behind furniture.

Mould releases spores into the air and can be inhaled into the lungs. Some types of mould can cause serious health problems, including breathing problems, allergies, and skin infections.

If you see any of the following signs of mould, you may be entitled to both free repairs and compensation for your troubles:

Black, Green or Grey spots

Wet or rotting wood

Mould in Your Rented Home

Your landlord is responsible for fixing mould in rented homes. This is because mould is usually caused by a problem with the property, such as a leak or a lack of ventilation and it can cause a number of health problems, including respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma.

For a strong case for compensation, here’s what you should do:

Inform your landlord immediately

Keep a record of all your interactions with your landlord

Take photos and videos of the mould

If you have taken all of the steps above and your landlord still has not fixed the mould, here’s what to do:

    What other compensation will I get?

    You may get compensation, free mould removal and free repairs to your home!

    Not only is it possible to get compensation in the form of money for the suffering you’ve been through, but you may also get free repairs to your home as well as free mould removal!

    What determines compensation amount?

    When it comes to mould in your home, several factors contribute to determining the compensation amount you could receive:

    1. How much rent you pay can affect how much compensation you get.
    2. If the mould problem is severe and has spread all over your house, you might be able to get much more compensation.
    3. The longer your landlord takes to fix the rat problem, the more compensation you may be entitled to.
    My life has been affected, can I claim compensation for that?

    You may be able to get compensation if your mould situation has caused damage to your belongings such as your clothes or furniture, or added unnecessary costs, such as excessive bills or out-of-pocket repairs.

    You may even be entitled to compensation for the mental discomfort caused as well as any medical expenses which may have been caused by the mould in your home.
