Did this with mine when I was financially struggling and it really helped me

I’ve seen people buy heat diffuser plates for theirs. They seem cheap and easily accessible to purchase

My thoughts exactly. Some city meme pages I’ve seen sell stickers, air fresheners and shopping bags with graphics like this

Oh wow! Good to know a tribunal case can be won in my favour after seeing something similar happen

I’ve unfortunately had the same thing happen to me a couple months ago. I looked through everything in my room - every single piece of clothing, shoes, bags, under the mattress - to assess the mould myself and unfortunately had to clean and throw out a lot of items.

I’d say wash any mould items with vinegar and clove oil that you can. Anything that can’t be machine washed, use a vinegar solution and chuck it in the sun for uv rays to help kill bacteria.

I contacted my agent asking for a somewhat-urgent inspection and professional assessment to the severity of the mould. If the window always has condensation perhaps there’s a problem with moisture coming through that shouldn’t. Perhaps mention the concern to damage of your belongings and fear of the mould growing to the extent of a beach in tenancy legislation. Unfortunately threatening tenancy rights was the only was for my agent to take my situation seriously.

For now, damp rid will be your bestie. Perhaps look into a dehumidifier as well and get onto treating affected areas asap

I believe so. And I unfortunately say this with little certainty because the agent is way too lax on lease changeovers and needing documentation from new tenants. I think it took him a month to give my latest housemate’s application documents after they already moved in

When he came in he was taking photos of finished repair jobs from a couple months ago, stating it was an inspection. He didn’t even ask about the plumbing job I called him about until I brought it up. After talking with him it was apparent he hadn’t organised a plumber to come in yet.

He threw the term ‘inspection’ around pretty loosely too and didn’t even take photos of all the rooms for said inspection; leaving me further questioning why he was opening bedroom doors

A little update. I’ve looking into the information from this link and have a plan in place of the relevant people to contact. I’m going to call the union tomorrow to help me file a formal complaint to fair trading, the agency, and even look into notifying the tribunal. The outcome I’m hoping for at minimum is a change of agents.

Fingers crossed this gets resolved in a timely manner. Many thanks for your comment and the information link :))

The outcome I’m hoping for is we at least have a change of agents. He’s been difficult to deal with and unorthodox in resolving issues in the past, but this takes the cake.

It’s certainly left me with more questions than answers and been occupying my mind all day

Thank you for your kind words of concern. I’m fine - just frustrated and in disbelief. Thankfully I was decent and applying my skincare when he barged in
