Two wheelchair users are claiming they have been discriminated against by their social housing landlord. The two women say they are living with rats, mould and damp in their flats.
Kerdesan Gallardo and Sheila Lewis are both disabled and claim they have been battling to get repairs done. Mum-of-two Kerdesan was forced to call the London Fire Brigade after water began streaming down her kitchen walls as she worried she would be electrocuted.
As reported by The Mirror, the tenant – who lives in Goodrich Court, North Kensington, London – says she called her landlord L&Q and was told there was "nothing they could do". While Sheila, 60, who lives alone, says she has been left terrified and unable to sleep since rats took over her bedroom.
