If the mould is similar to the one shown in this picture then the problem may be due to condensation. Small patches of mould can be wiped off but please report larger patches or problems.
If the mould has arisen due to condensation and that condensation has been caused by the action of a tenant (such as drying clothes indoors without adequate ventilation or blocking off an air brick) then remedying the issues caused by the condensation are often an occupier's responsibility. You should keep your property sufficiently aired and ventialted in order to prevent the above espeically during colder periods.
Tips to avoid condensation:
*Cover boiling pans and open a window if you are cooking
*Dry your clothes outdoors when possible. Do not dry your clothes over radiators.
*Ventilate your tumble dryer
*Use extractor fans if they have been fitted in your bathrooms
*Wipe up water lying on window sills in the morning
Please note that your landlord is only responsible for the items they have supplied to you for use during the tenancy.
If the issue relates to something belonging to you or if you have damaged something belonging to your landlord it is your responsibility to fix / repair / replace it.
If the issues relates to an electric appliance please first check the circuit breakers to ensure they do not need to be reset. Also, some landlords have service contracts or extended warranties for specific appliances, if you have the details of any such cover in place you should call the provider to arrange a service call.
If the issue relates to something supplied to you by your Landlord please continue to report it online.

You should always have the use of a toilet. If you do not, then this would be considered an urgent issue and must be reported to us both through this system and by telephone.
If the toilet will not flush and the toilet otherwise drains as normal without leaks, if safe and convenient to do so there is a temporary solution until the plumber attends as follows:
Pour a half-full bucket of water at a fast but controlled pace. This will achieve the same result as flushing the toilet. Only do this if the toilet is not blocked.
