The introduction of Awaabs Law in 2025 places a legal obligation for Social Landlords must:
Investigate any potential emergency hazards and, if the investigation confirms emergency hazards, undertake relevant safety work as soon as reasonably practicable. The investigation and the work must both take place within 24 hours of becoming aware of the hazard.
Investigate any potential significant hazards within 10 working days of becoming aware of them;
Produce a written summary of investigation findings and provide this to the tenant within 3 working days of the conclusion of the investigation.
Undertake relevant safety work within 5 working days of the investigation concluding, if the investigation identifies a significant hazard.
Begin, or take steps to begin, any supplementary preventative work to prevent a significant or emergency hazard recurring within 5 working days of the investigation concluding, if the investigation identifies a significant or emergency hazard. If steps cannot be taken to begin work in 5 working days this must be done as soon as possible, and work must be physically started within 12 weeks.
Satisfactorily complete supplementary preventative works within a reasonable time period.
Secure the provision of suitable alternative accommodation for the household, at the social landlord’s expense, if relevant safety work cannot be completed within specified timeframes.
Keep the tenant updated throughout the process and provide information on how to keep safe.
