Stephen Mulhern Faces Tenant Backlash Over Property Conditions

Stephen Mulhern, the ITV presenter, has faced backlash from tenants of a rental property he owns in Leicestershire, who claim they have been living in 'squalor' due to severe damp and mould issues. The tenants, including key workers during the pandemic, reported that their health has deteriorated as their complaints to the managing agent, Connells, were allegedly ignored. Despite measures taken, such as installing a ventilation system prompted by high humidity readings, the problems persisted, leading to feelings of bitterness and alienation among the residents. Mulhern expressed his mortification upon learning of the issues and has pledged to rectify the situation urgently. He was previously unaware of the severity of the conditions, as the property is managed externally. The situation has sparked significant concern regarding the living standards in rental properties owned by celebrities.
