Council Threatens Action Over Damp and Mould

A council has threatened to pursue landlords who have been convicted for ignoring an Improvement Notice concerning damp and mould.

According to Landlord Today, the landlords failed to comply with the notice, prompting the council's warning of further action.

This development highlights the importance for letting agents and inventory clerks to ensure that landlords address Improvement Notices, particularly those related to property conditions such as damp and mould.
