Pregnant and mould in rental property

[llyh]

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and after a damp wet winter we have some damp and mould appearing in our bed room, a tiny section has the black dots. Are landlord has said he will said a painter at the beginning of Feb to clean it and re paint it but said 'minimal distruption'. I know renters have few rights but is it OK to leave renters in a property with mould and should we just be expected to stay here while they clean and paint the room. I'm worried about sleeping in paint fumes.

But it's a fact that moisture created inside the house leads to black mould and the first thing to tackle is checking whether the OP is ventilating, drying washing inside etc. It's not about her not keeping a 'clean' home, but quite rightly, posters were trying to establish the situation that leads to this.

We are renting currently. We open windows when possible, wipe any moisture off the windows in the morning, use a dehumidifier and wipe away any mould that forms (husband's job seeing I'm pregnant). Of course if the problem is deeper than this, the blame lies with the landlord.

But tenants need to also look after the home they live in and sometimes simple measures are all that is needed.
