Stephen Mulhern Apologizes for Tenant Damping Issues

Stephen Mulhern has publicly apologized to tenants living in poor conditions at one of his Leicestershire rental properties, which has been plagued by damp and mould issues for several years. The tenants, who pay £775 a month, reported their health has deteriorated due to the unsanitary living conditions, feeling 'mortified' and 'alienated' as their complaints to the management agency Connells went largely ignored. Despite the installation of a ventilation system, moisture levels remained dangerously high, prompting further frustration and concern for their well-being. Mulhern, who owns a property portfolio valued at £4 million, expressed his surprise at the severity of the issues and has since committed to addressing them as a 'matter of urgency'. This situation has raised broader concerns about tenant rights and landlord responsibilities regarding housing conditions in the UK. The tenants drew parallels with recent housing controversies involving other landlords, highlighting a systemic issue in tenant care.
