Damp, Mould and Condensation

Damp, Mould and Condensation

Damp, mould and condensation are issues that can be found in any home. It is important to address these issues early before they become costly repairs or have an impact on health.

Understanding damp, mould and condensation

Damp, Mould and Condensation are common issues that can effect your home.

Your landlord should not blame you for having damp and mould in your home without trying to find out the cause. There are also things you can do to help keep your home free from these issues.

Safe Suffolk Renters have produced a leaflet and a video to help tenants and landlords understand more about damp, mould and condensation
