Condensation advice

During the cooler months, we receive an increase in the number of tenants reporting what they perceive to be penetrating/rising damp caused by a fault in the structure of the building. In the vast majority of cases, the mould / odour which the tenant is experiencing is caused by condensation produced in the home through everyday living. Please see our Condensation Leaflet for advice on how to prevent and treat condensation by properly ventilating your home.
