Home Mould Health Check for Landlords nad

Protect your tenants. Prove your compliance. Prepare for the future.
Now essential under Awaab’s Law and the Renters’ Rights Bill.

⚖️ Legal Responsibilities of Landlords

• Landlords must maintain a safe and habitable home under laws like the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.

• If mould is caused by structural issues, poor ventilation, or faulty heating, landlords are legally required to fix it.

• Failure to act can result in fines, legal action, or even being banned from renting properties under new rules like Awaab’s Law.

🧍‍♂️ Tenant Rights

• Tenants have the right to report mould and expect timely repairs. If ignored, they can escalate the issue to the local council or take legal action.

• Tenants may be entitled to compensation if mould causes health problems or damages belongings.

🏥 Health Risks and Legal Implications

• Mould can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and mental health concerns, especially for children and vulnerable adults.

• If mould makes a property unsafe, it may be deemed unfit for habitation, triggering legal obligations for landlords.

📋 Documentation and Evidence

• Tenants should document mould issues with photos, written complaints, and medical records if health is affected.

• Landlords are expected to inspect and act promptly, especially under the upcoming enforcement of Awaab’s Law from October 2025.

The legal landscape is shifting fast, and mould isn’t just a nuisance anymore… it’s a liability.

With Awaab’s Law introducing strict response timelines, and the Renters’ Rights Bill empowering tenants like never before, you can't afford to “wait and see” when it comes to damp, mould, or ventilation issues.

That’s where Mould People steps in — with expert inspections designed to catch hidden risks, keep you compliant, and protect your reputation.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

With Awaab’s Law set to apply to private landlords by 2026, and the Renters’ Rights Bill entering its final stages in Parliament, landlords face a seismic shift in legal expectations:

• 🕒 Strict timeframes to investigate and resolve mould and damp hazards

• 📋 Mandatory documentation to prove compliance and avoid penalties

• 🧑‍⚖️ Loss of Section 21 protections means tenants can challenge poor conditions without fear of eviction

• 💰 Fines of up to £40,000 for non-compliance under the new enforcement powers

This inspection service isn’t just best practice — it’s your legal safety net.
