Awaab’s Law is coming in 2026.
If you’re a landlord, letting agent or property manager, this affects you.
The law will require social housing providers to investigate and fix serious damp and mould issues within strict timeframes.
Expect standards to tighten across the private sector too.
This means:
• Faster response times
• Proper investigations
• Clear written reports
• Evidence of action taken
• Documented compliance
“Wipe it down and see how it goes” won’t cut it.
If you manage property, you need:
A clear inspection process
Documented moisture readings
Risk assessment
Written remedial recommendations
We break down what Awaab’s Law means in practical terms on our blog.
