Local Authorities and landlords have a duty to ensure that tenants reside in habitable and tenantable conditions. Livingstone Brown Solicitors have successfully acted in claims against Local Authorities and private landlords throughout Scotland to ensure that tenants’ rights are upheld and their families are protected from residing in what can be toxic conditions.
You should immediately report this to your housing association, private landlord or Local Authority. You should ensure that they log your complaint and request that a housing officer or appointed agent from your private landlord attends your property to review the dampness and mould and to have a plan of remedial works.
If the landlord or Local Authority fails to do this, it is important that you seek independent legal advice as soon as possible.
