Our partners at Cornwall Residential Landlords Association have kindly provided us with advice for landlords when dealing with damp, condensation and mould in rental properties.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Damp, condensation and mould is a common problem in homes, with older properties tending to suffer more than new ones, but rental properties are particularly prone. The problem is often a matter of degree: from a small patch of mould or discoloured wallpaper behind the wardrobe, in the very top corner of a bedroom, to serious amounts of mould growth across walls, inside wardrobes and on clothes, furnishings, carpets.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you're a landlord, read our handy guide to damp, condensation and mould, with lots of useful information on causes and prevention; controlling condensation; removal of mould, cleaning and protecting your tenants and your property.⁣⁣

If you need our help, please contact our Landlord Liaison Officer on [email protected] or 0800 954 1956.

🔔 From 1 July, the Energy Price Cap rate will rise by 13.5%.⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣
You can take a and send it to your energy supplier to make sure you're correctly charged for the energy you've already used.⁣⁠ ⚡ ⁠⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁠⁣
⁣
💡 It's a good idea to send a meter reading before the price changes. This helps make sure you're charged the right amount on your current rate.⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣
If you don't send a reading, your supplier might estimate how much energy you've used. That could mean you're charged more than you should be.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
💚 Those lovely people at MoneySavingExpert.com have a full supplier-by-supplier breakdown on how to give a meter reading.⁠ ⁠⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
🔔 If you have a smart meter that's working properly, or you're on a prepayment meter, you don't need to do anything.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

The Energy Price Cap will rise by 13.5% from 1st July, so you may be wondering if it's a good time to find a fixed or discounted rate or an alternative to fixing, such as discounted Price Cap tariffs; cheaper variable tariffs; and Tracker tariffs.⁣
⁣⁠⁣
Latest from Martin Lewis: “If you're one of the 60% of households on the Price Cap, we know rates are locked in until July. But if you do nothing, you'll be hit with a 13.5% hike in July (on average), and it's currently predicted (though by no means certain) a further hike in October.⁣
⁣
If you're risk averse, the thing to do right now would be to grab a cheap fix to lock in prices for a year.”⁣
⁣
⚡There are only a few fixes currently cheaper than the Price Cap, undercutting it by up to around 4%.⁣
⁣
⚡ You'll save a little now, but more importantly, you'll protect yourself against future Price Cap rises.⁣
⁣
⚡ Your cheapest fix depends on where you live and how much energy you use, so it's worth comparing your options carefully.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Remember to:⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⚡️ Check your current supplier's fixed energy deals. See how the fixed rate compares with the current Energy Price Cap rate.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⚡️ Check with your current supplier if there are any exit fees to pay if you end your contract early.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⚡️ If you are at all uncertain, contact your energy supplier to discuss your options.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⚡️ If you find it's difficult to switch because of energy debt, we're here to help. You can contact us on Freephone 0800 954 1956 or email: [email protected] ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
MoneySavingExpert.com has loads of handy information, including fixed deals and how to cut your energy usage, together with a handy calculator so you can work out if a fixed deal could save you money.⁣⁣⁣
