In the wake of the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak in 2020 due to prolonged exposure to mould in his home, the UK government has enacted Awaab's Law to ensure such incidents never happen again. This legislation mandates that landlords address health hazards like damp and mould within strict timeframes, prioritising tenant safety and well-being.
---
Key Provisions of Awaab's Law
Prompt Repairs: Landlords are legally required to fix damp and mould issues within a specified timeframe, with emergency hazards addressed within 24 hours.
Extended Responsibilities: While currently focused on social housing, there are indications that private landlords may soon be held to the same legal standards, making compliance essential.

Health Risks Associated with Damp and Mould
Prolonged exposure to damp and mould can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, skin irritations, and even long-term health conditions. The most vulnerable—children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions—face the highest risk.
Common Causes of Mould in Properties
Poor Ventilation – Trapped moisture from daily activities leads to condensation.
Leaks – Water ingress from roofs, pipes, or windows worsens damp issues.
Condensation – Poor insulation and temperature differences allow mould growth.
