My daughter and mother live in a incomunity house on Buttershaw that is full of damp and black mold when she got it it was discussing and riddled with fleas I and my partner helped them remove carpets smoke bomb the house even throw there belongings as we’re now covered in fleas strip and decorate it as it’s my trade walls were that bad I had to sand them down and stabilise with pva solution before using enless bags of filler as I’m not a plasterer and well they weren’t going to pay for that
A lot of time and money later it was a house I could accept my child living in but winter came and all the work was for nothing as damp set in the gabal end heating was on full 24/7 with no effect they knew about because there’s a damp air con in the loft on reporting this damp they sent some one out to check building (green team guy said it’s bad have you thought about moving I would I I was you)and found it was letting water/damp in on gabal end and would cost £19000 appx to fix and rebuild and would not pay for it it was to expensive (witch to my knowledge is there responsibility regardless of cost) and opted for cheap band aid of sliver heat liners behind radiators instead of fixing problem like it’s not really there responsibility as it stands the money and time I spent on loverly girly owl paper is now covered in black mold curtains same and my daughter has breathing problems now no one wants to help I feel helpless as a father and done all I can but they still want full rent and to send letters regarding falling behind witch there quick to react to even though to my knowledge it’s not legally rentable
Somebody independent needs to assess these properties and make them responsible for there landlord duites

Thanks for this thoughtful, detailed description. I hope that people with information about other areas of Bradford with important housing needs will put those on record also. As you say, “there’s an urgent need — in Bradford as well as in London — for constructive, respectful dialogue between authorities and tenants.”
