Q: I rent from a private landlord I’ve never met. I pay my monthly rent on time by standing order and I text him if I have a problem. For four years the roof has leaked, causing mould and fungus that has damaged my health and ruined clothes and household items. I text and he promises to sort it but never does. I am frightened to withhold the rent in case it affects my credit score and references. I don’t want to move because the rent is cheap, and the location is good. Can I sue him?
