Our tenant is in the process of renewing contract for another year.
He has told us in Nov last year and again now that there is mould growing on the wallpaper on the outside wall of the bedroom.
We inspected in November and advised him to ventilate as they NEVER open the windows or curtains.
When they leave for work at 7am and return at 7pm the windows and curtains are shut. We have never seen them open!
We said they should sleep with the window slightly open to prevent condensation on the double glazing.
They also dry their clothes in the bedroom opposite although we provided them with a whirlygig washing dryer in the garden ladt march.
They have now said the wall paper is coming off and black mould is coming through.
We had the house surveyed this time last year and there is no damp, no leaking roof or gutters.
Who's responsibility is it to get rid of and prevent?

Who is responsible to remove mould? Tenant or landlord?
