But that is the equivalent of 8,000 properties failing the decent homes standard.The regulator also said between 1% and 2% of social homes - 40,000 to 60,000 - had"serious" damp and mould problems, while a further 3% to 4% - 120,000 to 160,000 - had"notable" problems.
Chief executive Fiona MacGregor said:"Tenants deserve quality services and homes that are safe and of a decent standard. "We expect all providers to continue to look at how they can improve the way they identify and address damp and mould." Mr Gove said it was good to see the regulator"taking action on landlords who continue to shirk their responsibility".
There are perfectly effective treatments for mould His parents should have been informed about them
Landlords are the lowest of the low. There is a special place in hell for landlords
Parents should act too ! Buying a bottle of bleach for 45p and removing the mould yourself isn't exactly rocket science is it !
And councils
Tenants: proof of affordability no CCJs references Proof of employment Landlords: No background checks whatsoever Not all landlords are scumbags. Far too many of them are, though.
