Awaab’s Law is set to bring major changes to the private rented sector, aiming to protect tenants from serious health hazards like damp and mould. Introduced after the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, the law places clear responsibilities on landlords to act quickly when issues are reported.

From October 2025, social landlords must meet strict deadlines to fix hazards, with private landlords expected to follow under the Renters’ Rights Bill.

We’ve created a practical info sheet to help you prepare, stay compliant, and support both landlords and tenants.

Fixed term tenancies are on their way out, but until the Renters’ Rights Bill becomes law, managing early exits through tenancy surrender is still essential.

Our latest infosheet explains what surrender means, the risks involved, and why proper documentation matters.

Under the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, Section 21 will be abolished and Section 8 Ground 1 is being reformed. Landlords will need to rethink how and when they regain possession of their properties.

These changes aim to balance landlord flexibility with tenant stability, but if landlords aren’t properly advised, it could lead to costly delays and compliance risks.

Our latest infosheet breaks down what landlords need to know, including key updates to repossession rights, how the new rules affect plans to move back in or house family, and what letting agents should be doing now to support landlords through these changes.
