We want to assure our customers that your safety and wellbeing remains our highest priority. Following the new government regulations, we are fully committed to implementing Awaab’s Law, a crucial step forward for tenant safety and housing standards across the UK.

Awaab’s legacy

The new legislation was introduced in memory of Awaab Ishak, a two year old boy who tragically died in December 2020 due to a respiratory condition caused by prolonged exposure to severe mould in his home in Rochdale. Despite his parents repeatedly reporting the dangerous conditions, the necessary action was not taken by the social landlord. Awaab’s Law is a direct and powerful response to that tragedy, creating a legal obligation for landlords to act quickly on serious hazards so that this devastating failure can never happen again.

What Awaab’s Law means for you

Awaab’s Law sets strict deadlines for social landlords to respond to repair issues and we are committed to acting quickly to keep you safe in your home.
