Vent-Axia has welcomed the UK Government setting a date of October 2025 for Awaab’s Law to be introduced across the social housing sector. Awaab’s Law is part of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act and is set to impose strict requirements on social housing landlords to investigate and resolve issues of damp and mould within specifi ed timeframes, helping residents gain faster repairs and reducing health risks. It marks the biggest change in social housing rules in a decade. “Eff ective ventilation is vital to improve indoor air quality and tackle condensation and mould.” said Natasha King, product manager at Vent-Axia.
