A new law to force landlords to fix dangerous damp and mould issues comes into effect today, following the death of a two-year-old boy.
The legislation is named after Awaab Ishak, who died in 2020 after prolonged exposure to mould in the social home his family rented in Rochdale.
The toddler’s death caused outrage and prompted the passage of Awaab’s Law with a requirement for landlords to fix reported hazards in social housing more speedily and rehouse tenants in safe accommodation if necessary.
Under the law, landlords will now have to investigate hazardous living conditions within a set period of time, or face court action or compensation orders.
