Social Rented Housing: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to ensure the effective implementation of Awaab's Law.
Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government
I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statements made on 27 October 2025 (HCWS995) and 13 July 2026 (HCWS222).
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 includes powers to extend Awaab’s Law to the private rented sector, setting clear legally enforceable timeframes within which private rented sector landlords must make homes safe where they contain serious hazards. We will consult on the details of this policy, including implementation timescales, in due course.
