TENANTS living in homes blighted by damp and mould say they have been told they are "breathing too much" by their housing association.
Others have been advised to use bleach, open their windows or put the heating on.
The residents live in properties managed by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) responsible for the flat where two-year-old Awaab Ishak died in December 2020.
A coroner ruled a year ago that his "preventable" death was due to a respiratory condition caused by exposure to mould.
Heavy
A new "Awaab's Law" could eventually force rogue landlords to make emergency repairs to mouldy homes within 24 hours.
In the meantime, other tenants of RBH fear that damp and mould are slowly killing them.
