Subject: Black mould in bathroom — SN-2041
Dear [Landlord],
I am writing to formally report black mould and moisture saturation in the bathroom at my property. Stitchbloc has classified this as Class 3 (C3) with 96.4% confidence.
Under Awaab's Law, I request inspection and repair within 7 days.
It escalates.

Daylight if you can. Step back so the affected area plus a hand's width of dry wall fits in frame.
Stitchbloc writes it for you. Polite, dated, evidenced, and worded so it ages well, useful three weeks later when nothing's been done, and useful three years later if you ever need it.

Hi Tony,
I'm writing about the damp in the bathroom at flat 3B, 14 Bedford Mews. I first reported this on 7 May 2026 (ref SN-2041). It has worsened since then.
I've had the affected area assessed. Stitchbloc flagged it as Class 3 dampness and identified a black mould cluster (0.42 m²) on the ceiling near the extractor fan.
Under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and Awaab's Law, I'm asking you to arrange inspection and repair within 7 days.
Happy to provide access. Please confirm receipt and your proposed date.

Yes. Every rented home in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which requires it to be substantially free from rising or penetrating damp. That applies whether you're in a council home, housing association, or private rental. From October 2026, Awaab's Law extends this further: landlords must investigate within 10 working days of your report, give you a written summary within 3 days of finishing, and begin repairs within 5 days after that. Missing those deadlines can trigger compensation.
