Stephen Mulhern Apologizes to Tenants Living in Squalor and Damp at His Rental Home

TV star Stephen Mulhern has been left "absolutely mortified" after being forced to apologize to tenants who are reportedly "living in squalor and damp" at one of his rental properties in Leicestershire.

Severe Damp Issues Reported

The property, valued at £165,000, has been plagued with damp and mould problems, with photographs showing the severity of the issue, including damp walls with spores.

Tenants' Health Affected

The tenants have contacted the management agency, Connells, multiple times about the issue, but their pleas have allegedly been ignored. As a result, the occupants have experienced a decline in their health while living in the property.

Stephen Mulhern Takes Action

Stephen Mulhern, who was reportedly unaware of the problems his tenants were facing, has taken matters into his own hands and expressed his deep regret over the situation. He has personally arranged for damp specialists to visit the property and resolve the ventilation and mould issues urgently.

Tenants Speak Out

One of the tenants, a key worker who worked through the Covid-19 crisis, expressed their frustration, stating that the situation has had a negative impact on their mental and physical well-being. They criticized the lack of care shown by the management agency and highlighted the larger issue of landlords prioritizing profits over tenant well-being.

A spokesperson on behalf of Stephen Mulhern has issued a public apology to the tenant and assured that steps are being taken to address the issues promptly.
