Awaab’s Law: Preparing for Implementation

Awaab’s Law: Preparing for Implementation

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.

Join us for discussion on the key requirements of Awaab’s law and its practical implications for housing providers.

Topics Covered:

  • An outline of what is coming – legal duties and timescales
  • What are the key issues for you to ensure compliance?
