🚨 Decent Homes Standards and Awaab’s Law🚨
The Renters’ Rights Collection – Part 9
In the latest edition of our Renters’ Rights Bill series, we unpack two key reforms that will redefine housing quality across the private rented sector – Awaab’s Law and the new Decent Homes Standard.
Both reforms share a simple goal: ensuring every tenant has a safe, healthy, and well-maintained home.
Here’s what’s covered:
✅ What Awaab’s Law means for landlords and agents.
✅ Response timeframes for serious hazards, damp, and mould.
✅ How the Decent Homes Standard will apply to private rentals for the first time.
✅ Practical steps agents can take now to prepare.
✅ How digital tools like Fixflo can help maintain compliance.
These reforms are expected to come in after the Renters’ Rights Bill, and the message from the Government is clear: the days of slow repairs, poor record-keeping, and outdated property standards are numbered. Read Part 9 today, and ensure you are ahead.
