I would never ever move into a place with mould again, you have to look very carefully, also in corners, in the bathroom etc. And beware if a place is freshly painted - often that just covers up bad bits ...

In the last place I had an environmental health inspector come out - they don't do much but at least write to the landlord and tell him to get things in order.



Do you know if landlords are obliged to sort out the problem of mould? If mould is on the wall when the tenant moves out can the landlord take money from the deposit to fix it?
Just wondering because I have had some pretty yucky mould in my kitchin which has left stains on the paint! And should be moving out in a couple of months... Thank you
