“A tenant said she was left ‘absolutely disgusted’ to find mould and fungus growing in her New Islington apartment block.”

“I don’t think anyone who lives in these blocks (should have to) see that, it’s pretty nasty. It always leaks in (the area where fungus has grown) so I imagine it was bound to happen but it’s just not natural and dangerous.

“You hear horror stories of those who get health problems for always being in close proximity to something like that so it needs to be gone.”

The exposure of cases similar to the one shown in the article has continued to grow over the past few months, with more and more tenants seeing that they can have a voice and help force a change.
