From 27 October 2025, new regulations under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 — known as Awaab’s Law — will require social landlords to respond to damp and mould hazards within strict legal timeframes. The change is a major step forward in ensuring tenants live in safe, healthy homes, but it also places new responsibilities on housing providers to act quickly, document every step, and prevent future occurrences.
At Scientific Sanitation Solutions, we’re committed to helping social landlords, housing associations, and property teams stay ahead of compliance with practical, science-led solutions.
Understanding Awaab’s Law
Awaab’s Law was introduced following the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 and enforces legal deadlines for addressing damp and mould in social housing.
From October 2025, landlords must:
- Identify and act on mould hazards promptly,
- Keep clear repair and communication records, and
- Prove they’ve taken effective steps to protect tenant health and safety.
Landlords who fail to comply risk legal action, compensation claims, or enforcement by the Housing Ombudsman.
To support housing providers in navigating these changes, we’ve created a dedicated information page explaining what the law means, what steps to take, and how prevention can form part of a compliance strategy.
