Landlord evicts family rather than fix damp problem

A pressure group representing people who rent their home says a landlord's booting a family out of their home rather than fix a problem with damp.

On Twitter, the Manx Tenants Union says it visited a family who'd been in their home for 22 years.

They'd complained to Environmental Health and their doctor, who both confirmed the conditions are unliveable.

But after raising this with their landlord, they were issued with an eviction notice.

Visited a small family today who have rented their home for the past 22 years.

Their doctor and Environmental Health have confirmed that the conditions are unliveable and that the landlord needs to fix the damp.

Landlord has responded by serving the tenants an eviction notice. pic.twitter.com/ByNEy4Si52
