Checklist of Indicators of Potential Damp & Mould Problems
This Damp & Mould Indicators is an essential checklist for landlords and letting agents to use to assist in dealing with damp and mould and general pre-tenancy checks. By carrying out a detailed pre-tenancy inspection, landlords can identify early signs of damp, condensation, and mould growth in a dwelling and take corrective action before tenants move in.
Where potential damp or mould indicators are found, it is recommended that a damp specialist investigates and rectifies the problem. Addressing issues early not only protects the property but also helps avoid tenant disputes, rent arrears, and potential health risks associated with mould exposure.
Why Use a Damp and Mould Checklist?
This checklist provides a practical checklist for landlords and managing agents to proactively manage damp and mould risks. Conducting a simple walkthrough of the property prior to the start of a tenancy ensures early identification of condensation or damp problems, reduced risks of disputes or complaints during the tenancy, and compliance with landlord obligations to provide a safe and habitable home.
Supporting Resources for Landlords
In addition to the Damp and Mould Indicators Checklist, landlords and letting agents can access Guidance and a pre tenancy Checklist for Residential Landlords.
Further Documents for Tenants
