Bristol tenant 'depressed' after 10 years of mould and decay in flat

A Places for People tenant says she has reached breaking point after years of trying to resolve ongoing issues of mould, damp, a leaking pipe and a rotten patio door. She claims her bedclothes, curtains and clothes have become mouldy despite her best efforts to keep her flat in a good condition.

Prior to lockdown, work was done on the property to resolve the issues of damp and mould. Tracey Lindo was relieved, believing the issues had finally been resolved but shortly after decorating, she says the black mould had returned and despite keeping the place clean, the smell has now become intolerable.

Ms Lindo has been in contact with her GP because she says the state of the property is having a big impact on her mental health. Places for People has apologised and said more repair work will take place.
