Scope & sources
Awaab's Law gives statutory force to repair timescales via the implied term in section 10A of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, inserted by the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023. The timescales above came into force for the social rented sector in England on 27 October 2025, initially covering emergency hazards and damp & mould. Further hazard categories are phased in during 2026, with the remaining HHSRS hazards (except overcrowding) following in 2027. The government has confirmed the framework will be extended to the private rented sector through the Renters' Rights Act.
