Rent tribunal decisions where damp or mould was raised

Published market-rent decisions that discuss damp, mould or condensation.

Filter these 1,072 decisions

Why it matters

Damp and mould are the condition issues tenants raise most often. Dated photos and repair records on file before the notice are the landlord’s answer.

61% cut

Of 31 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 19 set the rent below the landlord’s notice. Under the new rules a challenge can only lower the rent.

3 asked too little

The tribunal valued the home above the notice but could only award the notice figure. Under-pricing is now a 12-month ceiling.

4 with no increase

New-rules decisions where the rent was held at, or set below, what the tenant already paid.
