Matthew Langsworth, from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, warned his landlord of the extensive spores within his property, but claims they were 'redecorated over'.
READ MORE:A 32 year-old man has developed a life-threatening blood infection caused by household mould, after living in a fungus-infected property where spores were 'covered up' with paint.
Social housing provider Stonewater claimed that they replaced the 'entirety of his bathroom and kitchen' following a leak in 2023 and more recently installed new flooring. 'My life has just been physically, mentally and financially ruined by this ordeal,' said Mr Langsworth.'I would go on six to seven mile walks at the weekend. Now I can't even walk to the shop without having to stop.'In 2013 I first noticed it and they did a batch of works which obviously did not eradicate it. I've had continuous intestinal problems and skin conditions.
In August 2023, he vacated his flat for three months while works were completed on leaks and black mould. 'It took until April this year for the landlord to agree to do further works to the property despite what happened. Mould — a microscopic fungus — causes these conditions by releasing thousands of microscopic toxic particles into the atmosphere.
Other symptoms include worsening of asthma and other respiratory conditions or those that involve the inflammation of the airways.
