'My rented flat's black mould is making my son ill'

76% Informative
More than half a million rented homes - both private and social - have black mould issues in England .
Mould exposure can badly affect people with asthma, angina and bronchitis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
More than 26,000 babies and toddlers were admitted to hospital last year with lung conditions probably linked to damp and mould.
More than three million social tenants are estimated to be living in properties that do not meet the government's decent homes standard.
The homes are either in a state of disrepair, do not have modern kitchen and bathroom facilities, or lack adequate heating and insulation.
BBC Panorama wanted to find out who was ultimately responsible for the condition of the home.
The couple say they first told their managing agent Savills about the problems in 2022 .
