Damp & Mould in Durham’s Housing Stock
Durham's historic cathedral-city core sits alongside a large student HMO market driven by Durham University, one of the North East's most significant private rented sectors relative to the city's small size.
Durham County Council directs tenants to email its dedicated private rented housing team about damp and mould, and notes landlords remain responsible for penetrating damp, rising damp and plumbing-related dampness regardless of tenant behaviour.
Landlords and tenants can also report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council: council damp & mould reporting page →
