Private Sector Housing - Damp, condensation and mould

If you are living in a Croydon Council owned property, contact our new specialist team, email dampandmould@croydon.gov.uk  or visit our damp and mould page for council tenants.

When you report a problem, you will need you to provide us with background to the damp and mould issues.

Private tenants

For private tenants this will include:

• the recent communication with the landlord or property agent
• their responses
• information about the problem

Read our guide on how to report damp and mould issues to your private landlord.

If the conditions are serious, or your landlord or property agent are not providing you with the right level of support, we may send out a housing enforcement officer to assess the conditions and inspect the property.

Landlords and property agents

For landlords and property agents this will include:

• providing a copy of the 'inspection form'
• the proposed action plan 

If the conditions are serious, the landlord or property agent should take immediate steps to prevent water penetration and to neutralise the mould within the property.

Appointments can be arranged on request.
