We've been living in this rented cottage for just 8 weeks, we were hoping it would be somewhere we could settle for a while.
I moved a box in my 2 year old daughters room and have found black mould up the wall, on closer inspection it seems to be starting to cover the whole outer wall and judging by the musty smell and mouldy pots and pans its in the kitchen too (same outer wall).
I'm gutted. We moved to get away from another house related problem and thought we'd found somewhere great. I also have a 7 week old baby and I'm worried about my children's health from this. My daughter has a chesty sounding cough brewing and I'm wondering if its linked.
It's a very old small terrace house. I've no option of moving my daughters bedroom.
I'll contact my landlord, but what can I expect - if anything- him to do about it? Or is it my problem and if so what can I do about it?
My DH and I lived in a mouldy flat pre children and it was a nightmare, we were both really ill the whole time we were there.
