Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation?

Hi everyone,

I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.

It turned out to be a fault in the building's construction, which caused condensation in the false ceilings. When the panels were demolished, it was found that they were all full of mold.

The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.

Should the landlord compensate me for the lack of peaceful enjoyment of the property?

Dear Questioner,

Yes, the landlord should ensure the peaceful enjoyment of the property.

If he didn't fulfill his obligations, you can sue him.

If you want to discuss more, we will arrange a legal consultation session for a charge of 28$.
