With the Renters’ Rights Bill already set to transform the lettings landscape, agents also need to prepare for two major changes that will raise housing standards across the sector:
Awaab’s Law – introducing strict timeframes to investigate and fix hazards such as damp, mould and emergencies.

Both measures bring tougher compliance requirements, greater enforcement pressure, and a clear message: damp and mould are health risks, not lifestyle issues.
