Sarah Killick has been battling(奋力应对) problems in her social home for months, including mould and damp. She says the anxiety has been insufferable(难以忍受的) and she has permanently damaged her teeth from grinding them(磨牙) due to stress.
莎拉·基利克数月来一直在与社会住房中的问题作斗争，包括霉菌和潮湿。她说，焦虑令人难以忍受，由于压力，她一直磨牙，牙齿已永久受损。
She thought help would come in the form of Awaab’s law, new legislation designed to force social housing landlords in England to fix dangerous hazards, which came into effect in October last year.(她以为帮助会以“阿瓦布法”的形式到来——这项新立法旨在强制英格兰的社会住房房东修复危险隐患，于去年10月生效。)

But it did not. Killick said her landlord, Clarion Housing Association – the largest social housing provider in the UK – sent contractors(承包商) to do a mould wash, but claimed they did nothing to address the root causes(解决根本原因) of the damp. This was despite surveys showing outside cracks, as well as guttering and drainage problems that could be contributing to the issue.(尽管调查显示外墙有裂缝，以及可能造成问题的排水沟和排水系统故障。)
但事实并非如此。基利克说，她的房东克拉里昂住房协会——英国最大的社会住房提供商——派承包商来做了一次霉菌清洗，但声称他们没有采取任何措施解决潮湿的根本原因。尽管调查显示外墙有裂缝，以及可能造成问题的排水沟和排水系统故障。
