Under Awaab’s Law, tenants have the right to live in a safe, healthy home — free from damp and mould.
When a tenant reports a problem, landlords are now legally required to investigate and carry out repairs within set time limits to protect residents’ health and wellbeing.
If you spot damp or mould, report it, keep records, and know your rights — because everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

‘#Awaab’s parents [Faisal and Aisha Ishak] deserve the highest praise. They refused to let their son’s death be just another statistic in the housing crisis.
Through their strength, they’ve forced a long-overdue reckoning within social housing – a sector that, for too long, has tolerated excuses, delay and negligence at the expense of human life.
I want to extend my heartfelt admiration and thanks to them. Their courage will save lives.’
The news about #Rochdale social housing boss Gareth Swarbrick being sacked broke just as I arrived to film the vigil for #Awaab Ishak.
Look out for the response from the crowd which had gathered:
Earlier this week a coroner ruled the two year old died after prolonged exposure to damp and #mould at the family's home.
