Campaign group the People's Health Trust says Yorkshire and the Humber has the worst housing conditions in EnglandSarah, who has three children and did not want to give her real name, told the BBC about the reality of raising a family in poor quality accommodation.
She says the property, in the suburb of Harehills, is infested with damp, with tell-tale black marks on her kitchen ceiling, the window sill in the living room and in an upstairs bedroom. Sarah said: "My landlord, he didn't help me. The situation isn't safe for me or my children. I need another house that is safe and clean."Sarah has stayed in the privately rented accommodation because she has spent seven years on the waiting list for council housing. She is currently in priority band B.
National campaign group the People's Health Trust says Yorkshire and the Humber has the worst housing conditions in England, with almost 40% of private rental homes failing to meet recognised standards.
