Managing Condensation in Homes
-
12 March 10:00 GMT - 12 March 11:15 GMT Online
When a tenant reports damp in their home, it is highly likely that the issue is caused by condensation. A robust investigation process is needed to diagnose this. However, managing condensation in the home is often tricker than simply ‘fixing a leak’. This essential course helps landlords, letting agents, and property professionals in Scotland understand what is needed in a home to manage condensation and how we can work with tenants to reduce moisture levels.
Topics explored include:
- Reducing Impact: Learn how to reduce the effects of condensation through proper heating, ventilation, and insulation.
- Common Misconceptions: Clarify frequent misunderstandings shared by both tenants and landlords regarding condensation and dampness.
- Robust procedures: know the importance of inspection protocols and reporting when managing repair issues
- Tenant education: understand the importance of being non-judgemental and not blaming tenants, but balancing this with tenant education on how to reduce moisture levels
- Practical Guidance: Real-world examples and case studies to help you apply best practice in your own properties.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of heating the home and good practice principles
- Know the myriad options for ventilating homes and the use of mechanical extraction
- Understand the importance of insulation as part of the HIVE model
- Communicate clearly with tenants about dampness, condensation, and shared responsibilities.
