A council tenant has been awarded £1,000 in compensation after the bitter stench from untreated damp in his kitchen left him unable to cook for months.
The Leeds resident had waited two years for the city council to make repairs and alterations to his flat, which was badly affected by water damage, the Housing Ombudsman said.
A damning report by the regulator found “severe” failings and that the tenant had suffered “unnecessary trouble, frustration and distress.”
