What artful says - do that....

Are these external walls and if so can you describe the damage? If they are internal walls can you wipe the marks off or paint over them?

What Handson says and check your landlord insurance - you might be covered for legal work.

I insulate external walls with that insulation on a roll that you put up like wallpaper (sorry I can't remember the name off hand) and find that does the trick. In my own house which is old, I keep the bedroom window open almost 24 hours a day but still have black mold grow between the wardrobe and...

I use the cleaning liquid and actually pour it onto the wet patch and vac it up immediately. Repeat and the...

If it's a 4 bed and your letting it as at a 3 bed rent, why not advertise it as a 4 bed at the 3 bed rent? In my experience by the time a family need a larger house they've got all their furniture and white goods so furnished might be putting them off. However, I did once let a FF 3 bed but the T bought...
