Rental Problems and Mold: Legal Advice
Questioner
Good afternoon, I live with my wife. Daughter of 4 in a rental house in March we have lived there for 2 years there was a resident before me who was not so clean let's put it that way had pigeons in the attic animals in the living room he also ate them but anyway he never heated the whole walls were black with mold but anyway then I came to the housing association they just painted over it now the house is so damp that my walls are soaking wet mold on my wall mattress moldy silver gray runs through my house through my clothes in my child's toy box and even bugs under my mattress my windows are completely fogged up on the inside now I called the housing association about it they came by and said just turn on the heater and open the windows no cupboards against the wall and no bed because then you get mold I just get yelled at they did have someone come who made holes on the outside of the wall so that the moisture can escape and had someone come to install meters that was done in a week then they had the housing association take such measurements I have never seen that that is not right blablablabla.. Then someone came with an infrared device to take a look, this gentleman said that the house was not completely in order and the holes in the wall were having an adverse effect, my child and I had a cold all the time, I wake up every day with a sore throat, what can I do about this, thank you in advanceLawyer
The landlord must be officially put in default in a registered letter. In that letter you give a period in which you want the defects to be resolved. Sometimes it is so bad that a tenant cannot stay due to serious danger to health. In that case you are entitled to a replacement home. You can also try to involve the rent committee if this concerns a social housing.Neem de volgende stap
