Your home must be up to standard
Your home must be fit to live in.
If mould is so bad you cannot use some rooms or it is seriously affecting your health your home may be unfit.
The council can order your landlord to deal with the mould as a health hazard - even if your tenancy is not covered by the rules on unfit homes.
Your landlord must carry out and pay for improvements if the council gives them an improvement notice because there is a risk to your health.
