As a private landlord with five properties, what specific new deadlines and repair protocols do I need to implement immediately to comply with Awaab's Law, especially regarding damp and mould issues?
Quick Answer
While Awaab's Law currently applies only to social housing, its expected extension to the private rented sector will introduce strict deadlines for investigating and repairing damp and mould, requiring private landlords to proactively review and adapt their maintenance protocols to avoid penalties.
About This Topic
Awaab's Law will mandate strict deadlines for private landlords to address damp and mould, likely 14-day investigation and 7-day repair starts. Prepare now to avoid fines.
