Hi.

I started a thread about this house I'm living in leaking heat and that a while ago, anyway there is more.

One of my flatmates has been dealing with dampness and mould in her room and found out a few weeks ago that it had ruined most of her shoes, bags and also part of her room (wall) is mouldy and wet.

We are currently an end house, but found out that we weren't always and there was another house on the end which was demolished by the council.

So could this be causing our cold, damp, mould issues because it's on the outside wall?

There are several unrelated issues as well, what I'm getting at is our landlord is a waste of space as well...

But anyway, is there anything that can be done from the council or whatnot? Just having to live in a damp mouldy house isn't exactly healthy?
 
An internal wall probably won't?

Not even sure how thick it is.

Yeah, i thought we should threaten with rent payments, as in, not pay? But surely we don't have any leg to stand on to break our tenancy agreement.
 
I know mould and dampness can cause asthma (in a bad situation)

But it's already cost my flatmate quite a bit of money in damage to her stuff.

I might go somewhere like citizens advice maybe?
 
No not yet.

It's got a bit worse tonight, you can feel how wet the walls are in certain places.

We are going to citizens advice or environmental health this week.

It's pretty ridiculous
 
Our last payment is June, but the contract doesn't end til August.

He wanted us to pay for a 12month contract over 10month incase we ran away in the summer...

That was actually the reason too
 
Yeh told him and someone came out to look at it, but it's got worse.

We got someone out as soon as we moved in too to clear some mould in the living room.

It's the outside wall that was connected to another house which is causing problems again and again...

So something isn't right with that "outside" wall
 
Does anyone know what it means when your boiler keeps going off?

It comes on, then there is a sound of like rushing water (inside the boiler) then it goes off...

This process has been repeating all morning
