Refugee family's council flat is mould-ridden due to 'two-year leak', campaigners claim.
The Kurdish family has lived here since 2021 and is asking for a fix on a leak, which they say started two years ago.Hiwa is a 45-year-old and lives with depression, migraines and chronic back pain and Kharman, his wife, is his main carer.
"Damp and mould are not good for my children and it makes me angry that we are refused proper repairs. "All we ask is for our home to be up to standards and for us to be treated with the respect we deserve.”Living Rent, on their behalf, is now urging Glasgow City Council to fix the issue, which"has not been repaired adequately" the first time.
"Tenants should not be forced to accept mould as part and parcel of our living experience. We need legislation that puts the responsibility firmly back where it belongs, at the door of the landlords."
