Preventing Damp and Mould Local Initiative Local Letting and Managing Agent Engagement with the local Housing Regulators.

Landlords and Tenants

Both Authorities are pleased to inform you, that your Letting and/or Managing Agent have “signed up” to a joint initiative to prevent damp and mould in private rented homes. Both Council’s private sector housing enforcement teams believe that strengthening links with local Agents can only be beneficial in stopping Tenants renting unsafe and unhealthy homes, and in assisting Landlords in prevention and legislative compliance. Your Agent will be contacting you confirming their sign up. By attaching this notice they re-emphasise and encourage their Tenants and Landlords to work together with them in order to identify, report, investigate (within 14 days where possible) and then remedy the causes of any damp and mould issues in your rental home, in a timely and informal manner. A list of Letting Agents who have joined the scheme are available on:

ERYC website at https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/housing/housing advice/condensation-damp-and-mould/ Hull CC website at Local agents signed up to prevent damp and mould | Condensation, damp and mould advice for the private sector | Hull

Both webpages contain links to the latest Government and Council guidance about working together to prevent damp and mould; and also how to report matters to your respective Local Authority if suggested practices are not followed, and as a result, damp and mould concerns seem unresolved.

This initiative is part of the Government’s Healthy Homes project which is funded through HM Treasury’s shared outcome fund.
