Social landlord waited nearly two years to check other properties after infant died in damp home, says regulator
The entire board of a social landlord has quit after an investigation found it left hundreds of tenants exposed to harmful damp for nearly two years after an infant died from respiratory failure in one of its mould-infested homes.
Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) waited nearly two years after Awaab Ishak died to check other homes on the estate, the regulator of social housing concluded on Thursday. When it did, it found hundreds of tenants living with damp and mould.
