Ah yes, we had this in a house many moons ago. Literally had mushrooms growing out of the wall in the cellar. My son had breathing issues every time he got a cold, and had blue lips and a 2 day stay in the hospital.
Asked the landlord to sort it and he promised tth earth and delivered fuck all.
So we moved out and got another place. That place didn’t have black mold half as bad but the pipe from my toilet had a massive hole in it, so every time you went for a shit, you found it in the garden.
So we told the landlord about it and he came and wrapped something meant for an exhaust pipe around it. Stupid old cunt.
It lasted a couple of days and then, “oh look, there’s my turds in the garden again!” So we took photos of the turds and the pipe and threatened to report him and he finally had someone come and fix it properly.
Then someone kicked in the door that wouldn’t lock and burgled everything of value 12 days before Xmas and we moved out.
This place is far more expensive, but I’ll tell you what, there’s very few issues with it. We’ve lived here for 8 years now. When there’s a problem we let the letting agent know and a proper company comes out to sort it out.
So my advice is to rent from a letting agency rather than a dude who owns a couple of houses for a bit of side money.
I don’t think I have ever seen a house to rent in my area that doesn’t have some kind of mould issue somewhere in the property. Landlords don’t give a fuck about it until it comes to the tennant moving out then suddenly it is an issue worthy of trying to get as much of the deposit money from them as possible.
