Introduced under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, Awaab’s Law requires landlords to fix Category 1 hazards for fire and electrical risks within 24 hours to 1 week from April 2026, extending the duties across all 29 HHSRS hazards by 2027. The advisory emphasises the person-centred approach, urging landlords to assess an individual’s health, mobility, and means of escape.
