TLC magazine Spring 2025 - text version - Damp and mould

Published: 19 March 2025

Damp and mould 

From October 2025, a new law called Awaab’s Law will require social landlords to act quickly when dealing with damp and mould to protect tenants’ health.

The law is named after Awaab Ishak, a young child who tragically died due to mould exposure. It aims to improve housing conditions and hold landlords accountable. In the future, it may also cover other housing hazards to make homes safer for residents.

If you think you have a problem in your home, please let us know as soon as possible.
