PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    This is my final post. James I said whose responsibility is it, in the context of the whole sentance, meaning who is responsible for getting it fixed. I didn't ask 'who is responsible?'

    Thank you all for your help on this. I am now clearer and calmer and have an idea of where I can turn if the landlord still does not act upon my report to him.

    Almost every post on here where the T lifestyle is recognised to be causative of mould / condensation problems, results in black mould on coldest walls, in corners, or behind / under poorly ventilated furniture or spaces.

    That sort of issue is not present at all here.

    Yes, T lifestyle can often be to blame but given the photograph of the issue - that is not symptomatic of a T lifestyle issue.

    As others have said, report in writing and keep a copy. Make sure you keep the photostoo. It will be for the deposit scheme to decide at the end of your tenancy, not for your LL.
