What does Awaab’s
Law require?
Awaab’s Law sets out responsibilities and timeframes for social housing landlords to react to any complaints of damp or mould, these are the key points:
-
If a social landlord becomes aware of possible damp or mould in a social home, they must investigate within 10 working days to confirm whether there is a hazard.
-
Residents must receive a written summary of the findings within three working days of the investigation ending.
-
If damp or mould poses a serious risk to health or safety, the landlord must make the home safe within five working days, using temporary measures if needed. Work to prevent the issue from returning must be completed within 12 weeks, and all repairs should be finished within a reasonable timeframe.
-
In an emergency, landlords must investigate and carry out urgent repairs as soon as possible and within 24 hours.
-
If the home cannot be made safe within these timescales, the landlord must offer suitable alternative accommodation at their expense until it is safe to return.
-
Landlords must also keep clear records of the actions they take and their communication with residents and contractors. If they cannot meet the requirements for reasons beyond their control, they must record the reasons why.
