One tenant, who lives in council accommodation in the city, said the authority had failed her and her three children over mould in her homeLocal authorities need more resources to help tackle damp and mould in private rented homes, Leeds City Council's chief executive has said. Leeds City Council had since introduced a "dedicated fast-response team" to improve response times for its own tenants, the authority's executive board was told on Wednesday.Mr Riordan said recent changes in housing legislation had been a "step in the right direction", but he added that councillors had to be "realistic".
The leader of the council's Conservative opposition, Andrew Carter, told the meeting that over the years "we've heard the excuse over and over again that [mould] is due to lifestyles".“It’s not just homes in the council’s care, to be fair. I’m worried greatly about some in the private rented sector," he added.
