A mum-of-four was served with an eviction notice by a "contemptuous" letting agency after she tried to raise concerns about mould in her Glasgow home.
Pierette Tchialu, 46, and her four kids aged 20, 17, 14 and 10 have lived in the flat for years, which is managed by Dennistoun-based letting agency 1-2-Let.

Pierette said: “The conditions I have lived in with my family were inhuman. I have been in this house for eleven years, and until very recently 1-2-Let never came to fix the house.
"Me and my family, we’ve been living with mould, cold and damp since 2020. In 2021 I was complaining to 1-2-Let. Nothing has been done.

"I was depressed. All of us have skin problems because of the condition of my house.
"The family home was cold and damp and overcrowded, the walls have been damaged badly by damp. After contacting the landlord various times, the support I received has
