flag Awaab’s Law now requires English social landlords to fix mold and damp within days, after a toddler died from related illness.

flag Awaab’s Law took effect in England, requiring social housing landlords to address health hazards like damp and mold within strict deadlines—24 hours for emergencies, 10 working days to investigate, and five days to fix. flag Named after a two-year-old who died from mold-related respiratory issues, the law mandates written tenant updates and rehousing for vulnerable occupants if homes can’t be made safe. flag A UK survey found 23% of those reporting such issues lived in social housing, while 21% were in private rentals. flag Campaigners urge extending the law to the private sector, where no timeline exists despite the pending Renters’ Rights Bill. flag The Housing Ombudsman reported a fivefold increase in complaints since 2020, citing ongoing maintenance failures. flag The government launched a £1 million fund to boost tenant engagement.
