A mum from Swansea has claimed mould and damp in her privately-rented house are "tipping [her] over the edge". Harley Chase, from Sandfields, claimed her bedroom floor was soaking wet and her clothes and furniture were "covered" in mould. The 21-year-old also claimed she was worried about the health of her three-year-old daughter Ava, who has asthma.
Miss Chase, who works in a jewellers, and her boyfriend, Nicky Butcher, 23, claimed they first noticed damp and mould issues in their home in Burrows Road, Sandfields, Swansea, in November, 2020, around three months after they moved in.
Describing the condition of her home now in May, 2023, Miss Chase claimed: "The second you walk into the house there's damp and mould on the doors. There's mould on my front room windows. I have a sofa in my front room and being a 21-year-old and saving up to have a lovely sofa was one of the hardest things I ever did."
