Mould in flat
forever.insane
Posts: 653 Forumite
Hello,
I'm moving out of a rented flat and the property has always suffered from damp which turns into mould as it isn't treated. The LL knows it has damp (had a specialist look at it once they found out I'm leaving) and it was treated for damp before I moved in. It is a basement flat.
Anyway, as I say, some has attracted mould. As the damp issue isn't my fault or my problem and the resulting mould isn't my fault, am I required to clean it if I want my deposit back?
I repeatedly informed the managing letting agents who just told me to use mould spray early on in my tenancy.
Thank you.

Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.

I assume I still have to clean out then. Nevermind

Speak to the LL or letting agent to see what they say and follow any conversation with an email/text message confirming what was discussed.
