As the colder winter months roll by, ventilation becomes harder, especially for those living in fuel poverty. But ventilation is important in protecting us from harmful pollutants. Visit https://t.co/T0S5jtXExn info on how to do this in an energy efficient way #WorldVentil8Day

Extending Awaab’s Law and the Decent Homes Standard means faster action on dangerous housing conditions like carbon monoxide leaks. Strengthening CO safety standards will help save lives and keep renters safe across the private rented sector. #CarbonMonoxideSafety

For the first time, Awaab’s Law and the Decent Homes Standard will apply to the private rented sector. A major milestone for housing safety, setting clear timeframes for landlords to fix hazards like carbon monoxide, damp and mould to protect tenants’ health.

The Renters’ Rights Act has officially become law, the biggest reform to renting in almost 40 years It ends ‘no fault’ evictions and strengthens renters’ rights to safe, secure homes. But it’s also a major step forward for housing safety.

As we head towards the colder winter months, the @mhclg must ensure awareness about carbon monoxide poisoning is prioritised, especially amongst vulnerable people including the elderly, children and pregnant women.

By 2027, the law will extend to all remaining hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. While Awaab’s Law is crucial in enhancing the safety and protection of tenants in households, the rollout is slow and does risk more carbon monoxide related deaths

From October 2025: Social landlords must fix any emergency hazard (e.g. gas leaks, broken boilers) within 24 hours. In 2026, Phase 2 of #AwaabsLaw will expand tenant protections to cover more hazards, including excess cold and heat, fire, electrical risks and hygiene.

The @mhclg has confirmed the rollout of #AwaabsLaw, introducing new legal timeframes for fixing hazards in social housing, which take effect today. The first phase prioritises damp and mould, with further protections, including carbon monoxide and combustion risks, coming later.

We’re delighted that Paul Davis, the local MP for Colne Valley, is supporting Gas Safety Week. Mr Davis will also be hosting this year’s GSW parliamentary reception later today. #GSW25
