Council tenants

Awaab's Law is a UK law, effective October 27, 2025, that gives social landlords strict timeframes to fix serious health and safety hazards like damp and mould in tenants' homes.

Key requirements include investigating emergency hazards and starting repairs within 24 hours and investigating other significant hazards within 10 working days.

The law also states that landlords cannot blame tenants for damp and mould and will extend to other hazards in 2026.
