Clear Communication
Timely Responses to Health Hazards
Landlords will be expected to respond to reports of damp, mould, and other health hazards within set timeframes, similar to the upcoming requirements for social housing providers.
Maintaining open lines of communication with tenants is essential. Ensure they know how to report issues — and that you respond swiftly and in writing.
