Brandon Lewis: Make Private Renting Safer

My family was evicted from our privately rented home two years ago. Shortly after, I was told I had severe leukaemia. I was seriously ill and needed emergency treatment.

During recovery, I'm not allowed around any mould or damp. When we found a new place to rent, the landlord reassured us that there wasn't any damp in the property.

But when I left hospital, I discovered mould all over a bedroom wall.

The landlord put a radiator in the room. It made it worse.

My mattress and duvet are damp, putting my health in danger.

It's not safe for me to stay. But even if I move, I could face this again somewhere else.

Nobody should have to live like this. The Housing Minister, Brandon Lewis, must make sure rented homes are genuinely fit for human habitation.
