Awaab’s Law: A Complete Guide for Landlords
Practical insights to help social housing providers prepare for new compliance duties
From 27 October 2025, Awaab’s Law – formally known as the Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025 – comes into force. The new legislation introduces strict, legally binding timelines for investigating and repairing hazards such as damp and mould, transforming what was once a maintenance issue into a compliance priority.
Our comprehensive guide, Awaab’s Law: A Complete Guide for Landlords, has been created to support registered providers of social housing – from local authorities to housing associations – in navigating these new requirements.
This 16-page resource sets out everything you need to know about Awaab’s Law, including:
– What the legislation requires – and when
– The compliance “clocks” you must meet for emergency and significant hazards
– Your responsibilities for tenant communication, investigations, and record-keeping
– When and how to provide suitable alternative accommodation
– The role of the Regulator of Social Housing and the routes of enforcement that tenants can pursue.
Tailored for housing directors, compliance officers, and operational leaders, this guide combines clear explanations of the law with practical advice on how to prepare your people, processes, and systems.
Whether you’re developing new procedures or reviewing existing ones, this guide will help you move from compliance chaos to compliance control. Simply fill in the form opposite to access your very own copy.
