Awaab’s Law: The New Standard in Housing Compliance — and How Rage Ltd Is Leading the Response

Awaab’s Law is set to transform the social housing landscape in the UK. Sparked by the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak due to prolonged exposure to mould in a housing association property, the law is a wake-up call for landlords and housing providers nationwide. It introduces strict new timeframes and legal obligations to tackle damp, mould, and other hazardous living conditions—making tenant safety a non-negotiable priority.

At Rage Ltd, we’ve long believed that safe, healthy housing isn’t just a standard—it’s a right. That’s why we’re not just preparing for Awaab’s Law—we’re built for it.

Rapid Response. Full Compliance. Real Accountability.

As this legislation comes into force, landlords will be legally required to respond to reports of damp and mould within tight deadlines, complete remedial work promptly, and provide clear documentation of their actions. For many providers, this means rapidly overhauling their internal systems, training operatives, and finding a reliable partner who understands the urgency—and the stakes.

We’ve implemented Awaab’s Law-specific training for our engineers and Direct Labour Operatives, ensuring that every call-out meets the latest health, safety, and legal standards. With an average emergency response time of under 4 hours, digital job tracking, and transparent reporting systems, we remove the risk of non-compliance—and protect the wellbeing of tenants across every site we service.

Whether it’s a blocked airbrick, a mould outbreak, or a recurring damp issue, we don’t just fix the surface—we treat the source. Our teams are equipped to respond, remediate, and report—all within the parameters of the new law.

Awaab’s Law is here. And with it, a new level of responsibility.

If your housing stock isn’t ready, now is the time to act.
