Why Awaab’s Law Matters in Southampton
In December 2020, two-year-old Awaab Ishak tragically died after prolonged exposure to mould in his family’s rented home. This devastating case led to Awaab’s Law, a new legal requirement for landlords to take urgent action against damp and mould hazards.
For landlords across Southampton and Hampshire, this means ignoring mould is no longer an option. Failure to act can lead to fines, legal consequences, and devastating harm to tenants.
