Damp and mould inside Awaab's home days after his death ( MEN Media) "The evidence from this inquest quite clearly showed that this issue is not simply a Rochdale problem. Nor is damp and mould simply a social housing problem." The coroner said she had taken into account testimony from housing ombudsman Richard Blakeway, who found an "over-reliance being placed on the contribution of a tenant's lifestyle as the cause" of damp and mould. She told the court: "Having considered all the evidence in this case I find that the most likely cause of any damp or moisture in 2020 was, more likely than not, due to normal daily living activities albeit there may have previously been other issues such as leaks from other properties.
