Awaab's Law (Damp & Mould)
Tower Hamlets councillors are scrutinising social landlords over repair quality and resident dissatisfaction, reflecting concerns addressed by Awaab's Law.
Tower Hamlets' Housing and Regeneration Scrutiny Sub Committee recently examined the performance of registered social landlords (RSLs) Clarion Housing Association and Peabody Housing Association regarding the timeliness and quality of repairs for residents. Performance data presented in October 2026 highlighted ongoing concerns, with Clarion identifying repair delays as a significant cause of resident dissatisfaction.
These discussions align with the objectives of Awaab's Law, legislation concerning damp and mould in housing, which aims to ensure landlords address health and safety issues in residential properties. The scrutiny in Tower Hamlets focused on improving repair services to tackle resident concerns effectively.
