Awaab’s Law will introduce time limits for landlords to respond to potential hazards in tenants’ homes.
In accordance with Phase 1 of implementation, from October 27, 2025, social landlords will be required to address all emergency hazards and all damp and mould hazards that present a significant risk of harm to tenants within fixed timescales.
