Islington Council ordered to pay £2,250 after a resident with COPD lived with mould
What happened
Delays, missed appointments and poor planning left a resident with COPD living with damp and mould. After one surveyor said the mould made him feel chesty, the landlord still took three months to inspect again, and 34 months to resolve the problem.

Ordered to pay £2,250 in compensation, apologise and discuss the resident's future reasonable-adjustment needs.
