Hello everyone.
I live in a rented, basement flat and our bathroom is in what used to be the wine cellar. There is one small window with an extractor fan but the room is covered in mould and damp, I wash it once a week but the walls and floor are covered in thick mould. The damp proofing broke so water was coming through the ceiling, the landlord has just got this fixed but the walls are still wet to touch. We have a dihumidifier which we put on when we have a shower and leave on but this doesn't seem to do anything. The landlord knows the problems as he lives above us but says he can't replace the bathroom and floor until we move out at the end of our contract in September. Was just wondering if anyone knew if we had any rights to leave the property before the end of our contract as since living here as since the mould has been growing I have been getting really tired and really bad headaches and think the bathroom is to blame. Many thanks.
