A couple have been speaking about their struggles trying to afford privately rented accommodation after leaving behind their mouldy and damp Swansea Council flat.
Brandon Lewis, 26, and his partner Lauren Davies, 23, moved out of their council flat in Griffith John Street in December, 2021, following what they claimed was a ten-month battle with damp and mould. The couple were expecting a baby at the time and Brandon said his three-year-old child had been forced to stop visiting the flat due to seeping walls and damp.
Swansea Council said it had been planning to resolve the issues in the flat but that the couple took legal action which meant it could not access the property, before choosing to end the tenancy and move out.
