As the October 2025 deadline for Awaab’s Law approaches, landlords in Liverpool — particularly those managing social or rental housing — need to understand and act on their legal responsibilities.
Awaab’s Law was introduced following the tragic death of Awaab Ishak in a mould-infested home. It will be a legal requirement for housing providers to investigate and resolve reports of damp and mould within specific timeframes.
At Weather Wise Solutions Limited, we help landlords across Liverpool and Merseyside take proactive steps towards compliance — from ventilation upgrades to mould treatment and damp diagnostics.
We are proud members of the Federation of Damp and the Damp Proofing Association, and all our specialists hold CPD qualifications in Dampness in Buildings.
🔍 What Does Awaab’s Law Require?
By October 2025, landlords must:
-
Investigate health hazards (e.g. damp, mould) within 14 days
-
Begin repair work within a further 7 days
-
Complete repairs within a total of 21 days, unless there’s a valid reason
-
Keep tenants informed throughout the process
These deadlines apply to both social housing and private rentals, making compliance essential for all landlords in Liverpool.
