Information for Landlords

Information for landlords on responding to damp and mould reports promptly, and where social housing landlords have additional legal duties.

Damp and mould reported early is usually far cheaper and quicker to resolve than damp left to spread — and tenants are entitled to a home that's free of significant hazards.

Social housing landlords

Registered providers in England have statutory duties under Awaab's Law. See our guide to Awaab's Law for a plain-English summary, or the official GOV.UK guidance for full detail.
