Awaabs law and what it means to you and landlords

If a tenant reports serious damp or mould, the landlord or housing provider must:

✅ Investigate quickly
✅ Fix the problem within set time limits
✅ Not ignore or delay repairs

If they don’t act, they can face legal consequences.

⸻
Why the law was created

It was introduced after a young boy called Awaab Ishak died in 2020 due to prolonged exposure to severe mould in social housing.

The case showed that some landlords were taking too long to deal with dangerous living conditions.

⸻

⏱️ What landlords must now do

Although exact timings are being phased in, the main idea is:
• Respond to complaints promptly
• Inspect the property
• Carry out necessary repairs fast
• Make homes safe and healthy to live in

⸻

Who it applies to

Right now it mainly focuses on:

Social housing landlords (housing associations / councils)
But it is expected to influence private landlords and letting agents as standards tighten..

Treatment

Mould can be just cleaned away and hope it doesn’t come back

We trace the source of the mould, remove it safely and provide the relevant information and remedial to prevent its return
