We moved into a rented property the beginning of October. When I did the viewing the only issue I could see was that the upstairs needed painting and bathroom was iffy looking! We rent down the private landlord route just because DH credit is shot from when he was younger. (We're only 21 & issue because he was self dependant from been 16).
The day we moved in I got electrocuted from a dodgey socket, the landlord said they'd send someone round...they still haven't almost 2 months on, we just don't use that socket.
The first shower we had there the water leaked through the ceiling down to the kitchen, quite heavily. Told the landlord she sent her husband and he re sealed around the bath, it still leaks abit but whatever.
The problem we have now is , after two weeks of been here I started to notice mould in the kitchen, I just left it. Then the whole wall started to get it. I contacted the landlord who told me there was paint in the kitchen cupboard and just to paint over it , so I did. Within maybe 3 days the mould came back through, iv not painted it since because what's the point.
We pulled the sofa out to clean under, all under the radiator is black with mould, i probably have another 3 big spots of mould in the living room which is just spreading. It's also in 2 of the three bedrooms, it's coming through bad in our bedroom.
The biggest issue I have is I have 2 children, 2 years old & 9 months old. My 9 month old has had a chest infection the past 2 weeks and I'm concerned it's due to the mould.
We told the landlord we're leaving January due to DH working away & I need to be close to family. I asked about our deposit & she's spent it & have to wait till she has the money before we can have it. It was £800 so it's not worth us losing.
She's been funny with us since we told her we're moving. How do I ask her to deal with the mould ? Do I bother?
