Two years ago after my mum died, I decided to hang on to her bungalow for my possible future retirement accommodation. Meanwhile I rented it out. Last year, the tenants reported a problem with damp behind a drawer unit in the bedroom.
Some of the neighbours reported that they had similar problems which they had resolved by fitting a air vent, so I arranged for this to be done. Through the summer all was well, but as soon as the cold weather arrived, more damp appeared, this time on the bedroom ceiling.
There was never a problem whilst my parents lived there from when the bungalow was built in 1980 until 2016. The tenants have been in touch and have asked me to do something about it. But I don't know what needs to be done, I don't think there is a building issue, or is there? can anyone offer advice please? The new air vent is visible in the photos.
