Tenant Mold And Pest Responsibilities

In the UK, landlords are generally responsible for ensuring the property is safe and habitable, which includes dealing with mold and pest issues.
- Landlords must ensure the property meets health and safety standards.
- They are usually responsible for repairs and maintenance of the property.
Have you reported these issues to your landlord in writing?

Sure, I can help you draft a letter to your landlord regarding the mold and mouse issues. Here's a template you can use:

Dear [Landlord’s Name],
Subject: Urgent Repair Request – Mold and Mice Infestation
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally notify you of some urgent issues in my rented property located at [Your Address].
I have recently discovered mold in several areas of the property, which is causing health concerns. Additionally, there is a growing problem with mice infestation. Both issues are making the property uninhabitable and are affecting my quality of life.
As per the tenancy agreement and the UK's health and safety regulations, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the property is maintained in a habitable condition. I kindly request that you address these issues promptly by arranging for professional mold remediation and pest control services.
Please respond within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] to confirm when thenecessary repairs and treatments will be carried out. Should you need to inspect the property, please contact me to arrange a convenient time.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
