The tragic death of Awaab Ishak from Rochdale in 2020 was a defining moment for the housing sector.
At A2Dominion, we take damp and mould issues seriously and want to prevent such an incident from ever happening again.
Awaab’s Law was introduced in July 2023 as part of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act. This legislation will require housing associations, including A2Dominion, to investigate and start certain repairs in the homes we manage, within a fixed time period. Tenancy agreements will include a reference to complying with this new legislation so customers can hold landlords accountable by law. We're expecting the new timescales to be confirmed in the Spring by the government.
We'll update customers with the actions we're taking, and the new timescales being introduced soon.
