What is Damp?

WHY MOULD IS DANGEROUS.

WHY IT’S URGENT NOW (LAW & TIMEFRAMES).
-
Awaab’s Law (England) – from 27 October 2025, social housing landlords must fix damp/mould and emergency hazards within strict deadlines (24 hours for emergencies). More hazards are phased in during 2026–27.
-
Government proposals – core expectations:
-
Investigate hazards within 14 days
-
Start repairs within 7 days (if significant risk)
-
Complete emergency repairs within 24 hours
-
Tenants can take landlords to court if deadlines aren’t met
-
-
Private landlords – must also ensure homes are fit for human habitation. Severe damp/mould can breach the Homes Act and be enforced by councils using HHSRS hazard powers.
