New rules will force landlords to deal with home health dangers in weeks
SCOTS landlords will be forced to fix mouldy properties within weeks under laws announced today.
The introduction of Awaab’s Law will offer those in social housing greater protections over disrepair such as damp and mould.
The regulation is named after two-year-old Awaab Ishak who died due to health complications caused by the severe amount of black mould in his family home in Rochdale.
The toddler had celebrated his second birthday just a week before he died from a respiratory condition in 2020.
His parents had previously complained to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing about the severe mould problem in their one-bedroom flat.
Housing campaigners subsequently demanded changes to the law.
