The curse of the black spot: condensation and the law

Article Abstract:

Condensation is a common problem in residential buildings, particularly older dwellings, and is often a source of conflict between landlords and tenants. Disputes between landlords and tenants over condensation problems normally surface in official channels when damage to a tenant's property is involved. In most cases the blame is equally shared between landlord and tenant, but in some situations the landlord may be held liable. The Defective Premises Act 1972 may be used by tenants of modern dwellings to sue landlords, but its usefulness is limited.
