Stupid policy from a stupid P.M. Renters already have too many rights over a property they do not own. Its the Landlord that requires protection over rouge tenants.
What absolute nonsense. Human habitation without adequate ventilation will ALWAYS cause condensation, and hence mould. Its a behavioural issue as tenants won't open windows to get rid of the condensation.
How about rogue Tenants list? All landlords need to know which tenants dot pay their rents and which tenants destroy the properties they occupy and refuse to leave. Nothing should ever be a one way street. It's usually the same...
