'Instead of sorting out the problem, we received notice that the house would be sold and that we would have to leave.'
A West Belfast family of six claim they are being made homeless after their landlord allegedly decided to sell their house following complaints about mould.
The family say that after being told about the sale of the property they contacted the Housing Executive seeking help, but were only told that hostel or hotel accomodation outside of Belfast would be available for them. "After desperately trying to get the problem sorted, we eventually contacted environmental health and following an inspection they told the landlord that the damp and mould needed to be addressed and fixed.
"This is something that we are just not able to do due to my partner and I's jobs and it would be highly disruptive for our children, particularly our autistic son who would find the sudden changes very difficult.
