A mum-of-four was served with an eviction notice by a 'contemptuous' letting agency after she tried to raise concerns about mould in her Glasgow home
A mum-of-four was served with an eviction notice by a "contemptuous" letting agency after she tried to raise concerns about mould in her Glasgow home.
She also claims the real problems causing the mould are not being addressed. The ceilings remain caked in black mould and parts of the walls, floors and ceiling are flaking away. "The condition of my house affects my health, because I had Covid in April and May 2020. Since then, I have suffered from symptoms of long Covid and have had to spend long periods in bed."The family home was cold and damp and overcrowded, the walls have been damaged badly by damp. After contacting the landlord various times, the support I received has been insufficient and very late.”
A Living Rent spokesperson said: "1-2-Let’s response to the letter sent by the union has shown the total contempt they have for our member and other tenants they rent to. The fact that Pierrette and her children have been forced to live in unsafe housing for such a long period of time shows the sorry state of housing in Scotland at this time.
The cost-of-living crisis has seen people turn down heating or turn it off altogether, running the risk of encouraging mould growth in their homes as they try to keep on top of bills. The Record has reported several stories of private and social housing tenants who have found themselves dealing with a build-up of spores.
