Housing Association Mould Support
Housing associations and social housing providers face clear duties to respond to damp and mould. We connect you with vetted local specialists who can assess, treat and document mould problems across your stock — supporting your compliance and your residents' wellbeing.
Your duties as a housing provider
Housing associations and registered providers of social housing have a legal duty to keep homes free from hazards, including damp and mould. With the introduction of Awaab's Law requirements, providers are expected to respond to reports of damp and mould within set timescales, investigate the cause, carry out appropriate remedial work, and keep clear records.
Damp and mould should be treated as a serious health and safety issue, not a routine maintenance complaint or a 'lifestyle' problem. A prompt, professional and documented response protects your residents and demonstrates that you've met your responsibilities.
How we support housing providers
- Rapid response — assessments arranged quickly after a resident report.
- Root-cause diagnosis — identifying condensation, penetrating damp, rising damp or leaks.
- Appropriate remediation — treatment that addresses the cause, not just the mould.
- Clear documentation — inspection reports and records to support your compliance file.
- Stock-wide support — assessments across multiple properties and postcodes.
- Resident communication — clear advice to share with residents on managing moisture.
Awaab's Law and damp and mould
Awaab's Law introduced requirements for landlords to investigate and address hazards such as damp and mould within fixed timescales, beginning with registered providers of social housing. The requirements reflect the principle that damp and mould are serious hazards that demand a timely, documented response. You can read more in our article on Awaab's Law and damp and mould responsibilities.

Awaab's Law and Damp & Mould Responsibilities
Clear, careful information about Awaab's Law and how keeping a dated record can help. This is general guidance for qualifying social housing in England — not legal advice.
What Awaab's Law is
Awaab's Law forms part of the Renters (Reform) Act 2024 and introduces legal duties on social landlords in England to address certain hazards, including damp and mould, within set timeframes.
Who it applies to
It applies to qualifying social housing in England (the social rented sector). It may not apply to every tenant, every tenancy or every property — for example, most private tenancies are treated separately.
What it covers
It is aimed at serious hazards such as damp and mould that could affect the health or safety of residents, and sets expectations around investigation and action within defined periods.
How the Evidence Pack helps
Our Evidence Pack helps you organise dates, photographs, reports and communications into one clear record. It does not provide legal advice or guarantee any legal outcome.
