One in four UK residents live in homes that could adversely affect their health, with 15 million people facing issues like damp and mould, according to Health Equals. Many affected households report chronic health problems, especially among children. Personal accounts reveal landlords’ negligence and the emotional toll of living in such conditions, with low-income families disproportionately impacted. The presence of mould is linked to serious respiratory issues, exacerbating health disparities in the UK.
