Course of the month – Damp and Mould Awareness
Damp and mould are a nightmare for landlords and tenants, and can cause serious health issues if left untreated.
With this in mind, it is vital that you are aware of your responsibilities and are up to speed with the best way to identify and treat problem areas to keep your tenants safe and meet your legal obligations as a landlord.
Causes can can range from structural issues within the property to lifestyle factors - for example cooking or drying washing indoors without proper ventilation - or can be a combination of both.
The NRLA's Damp and Mould Awareness course will provide practical guidance on causes of dampness and condensation, advice to give your tenant and actions you as a landlord should take.
The course, which is suitable for landlords and agents covers:
- The different types of dampness - rising, penetrating dampness, hygroscopic salts and condensation, and how to identify them
- The common causes and the solutions
- The law affecting dampness and condensation
- The responsibilities and obligations of the landlord, agent and tenant
- How to reduce the impact and some of the common misconceptions that both tenants and landlords have regarding condensation
- The importance of heating, ventilation and thermal insulation
- Practical issues and worked examples
