The tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak cast a harsh spotlight on the dangers of damp and mould in rental properties. Living in social housing with his parents, Awaab’s death led to a tireless campaign for change, culminating in the introduction of "Awaab’s Law." This law, which initially targeted social housing, will soon extend to the private rental sector, bringing new obligations for landlords to act swiftly and decisively when dealing with mould.

In short, it’s been a wake-up call for landlords. Landlords in the private rental sector will soon face stricter requirements, including clear timelines for the inspection and repair of damp and mould issues. The focus is on protecting tenant health, responding with urgency and addressing underlying problems promptly.


To help you navigate these changes and support your tenants, we’ve created a free guide for Cardiff landlords. It’s packed with practical advice on how to respond to mould reports and includes handy tips you can share with occupants to prevent mould from forming in the first place.
