Mum paying thousands of pounds for flat that is so mouldy her son 'struggles to breathe'

She says Justin has been on prescribed steroids for three weeks and is using an asthma mask to help him breathe. The mould appeared on the walls of Aisha's flat in Harlesden, London, in November 2021 in their living room and her children's bedroom walls.
