MPs after housing vote

Tory MP are  looking for the housing vote. We all love MPs at this time in the electoral cycle. They suddenly find a soap box to stand on. This is just like Tory MP Laura Sandys the MP for Thanet South.

Her beef is with landlords when she can smell the damp or lack of proper ventilation.

In her words:

"When I visit bad housing in my constituency, I can “smell” the damp, the lack of proper ventilation, the lack of care and attention long before I get to the door. These properties are not decent – not homes for children, and they make a mockery of my belief that everyone deserves a place of security that can and should be called home. Last Wednesday, I called on the Government to extend the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented housing sector. "

Landlords all know that damp & mould problems in rental properties  are frequently a management issue where tenants fail to ventilate a property correctly or take measures to reduce condensation.

It will be interesting to see what Laura's strategy is to find a reasonable way though this management minefield.  Talk as we all know is cheap and you can read more on Conservative Home.

Landlords with embarrassing damp problems

The decent into Winter often throws up new challenges for a landlord.

A frequent issue to raise it's head is damp. Modern building and refurbished building mean that it's not so much a case of rising damp but more frequently problems caused by condensation.

Damp patches are not only unsightly but can result in mould and be injurous to the health of the tenant.

Damp is becoming an increasing problem in buildings because of the drive towards the promised land of carbon neutrality.

The flipside to all the additional insulation in order to reduce the heat loss is a basic lack of ventilation. They are the opposite side of the same coin. Tenants are notorious for not opening windows.

The result is huge amounts of water vapour with no where to go other than to condense on the cool spots within a property.
