House smells damp when it rains
It has been raining a lot by us recently, and the flat we're currently renting smells damp whenever there's heavy rain. What is causing this and how do I go about getting it fixed? And are there any health implications of something like this?

"Hi Cheryl. This sounds terrible. You definitely need to tell and show the landlord. And yes this could have major health complications. Email them so to keep a record of all communications.
Hope things get sorted for you"
