A family-of-three have been told their home is “safe” despite sleeping in their living room due to their fears over mould in bedrooms and the presence of rats.
Healthcare worker Tanya Hall, 40, and her two sons Themetrius, 22, and Haiden, 7 - who suffers from autism - claim they have been sleeping on a blow-up bed for nearly two months following medical advice to stay away from the mould.
As well as mould, the family claims they have been plagued by rodents which has seen them struggle to cook as first mice and then rats were found in the oven of their home in Southall, west London. Their housing association however says a pest control expert found minimal activity.
