Damp and mould
What to do if you have damp and mould in your home.
Report it to your landlord
Report damp and mould to your landlord or agent before contacting the council. If your landlord has a history of threatening behaviour or harassment towards you, contact the council first.
If your landlord is a housing association operating as a registered social landlord, report any issues to them.
You can get more advice from Shelter, including a letter template for writing to your landlord.
Contact us if your landlord or agent does not take action on damp and mould.
