We moved from the US almost 1 year ago into a managed property by MG. We have had several leaks (radiator and outside pipe). It took several weeks for anyone to fix them and have mold issues as a result. I understand mold is a common occurrence living here and also after you have had a leak. But the damage from the leaks are not being repaired and the mold is getting worse. The letting agent has said the landlord feels it is a decorating issue and does not have to fix. Is this true? Are damp/mold stains only considered a decorating fix? The mold is now on my ceiling and it's black - it isn't bad but it's mold! What are my rights? I've called the Council in who said, yes it's mold but that MG is busy and will get to me eventually? They also said I'm reacting like an American because mold isn't dangerous? Umm yes it is, it is not healthy to breathe mold on a daily basis. I don't know what to do.
