Action Against a Landlord for Failure to Provide a Safe Environment!
Applebys were approached recently by a gentleman who had been living in private rented accommodation for approximately 13 months in the South of England. When he moved in, in the summer, a dehumidifier was present but he was told any damp issues had been dealt with. Later in the year it became clear significant damp was present including water running down the walls and windows! As a result a fungus occurred which spread small spores. Once inhaled these can cause health issues, especially for those who have a poor immune system.
