Frequently Asked Questions About Awaab’s Law
What is Awaab’s Law?
Awaab’s Law is legislation requiring social housing landlords in England to investigate and address certain hazards within defined timescales. Phase 1 came into force on 27 October 2025 and covers significant damp and mould hazards and all emergency hazards.
What are the Awaab’s Law timescales for damp and mould?
Where a potential significant damp and mould hazard is identified, social landlords must investigate it within 10 working days. If the investigation confirms a significant hazard, relevant safety work must be completed within five working days of the investigation concluding. A written summary of the findings must also be provided to the resident within three working days.
Emergency hazards must be investigated and made safe within 24 hours.
What evidence should social landlords keep for Awaab’s Law?
Housing providers need a clear record of how a potential hazard was identified, when it was investigated, the findings, communication with the resident and the action taken. Maintaining accurate, time-stamped evidence can help demonstrate that required actions were completed within the relevant timescales and provide a clearer audit trail throughout the case.
How can Vericon help social landlords respond to Awaab’s Law?
Vericon uses connected environmental monitoring, property data and digital reporting to help housing teams identify potential damp and mould risks, prioritise properties for investigation and maintain evidence throughout the response process. Solutions including MouldSense, Surveyor Cube, MultiDOT and HomeHub can support different stages of damp and mould monitoring, investigation and resident communication.
What changes under Awaab’s Law Phase 2?
Phase 2 of Awaab’s Law comes into force in England on 30 November 2026. It extends the significant-hazard requirements beyond damp and mould to hazards including excess cold, excess heat, fire and explosions, electrical hazards, structural collapse, falls and domestic hygiene risks. This makes robust property-condition data, case management and evidence processes increasingly important across a wider range of housing risks.
