Air For Life CEO Jay Vitale Shares Expert Tips to Combat Mould in Homes
"Campaigners have demanded reforms after two-year-old Awaab Ishak died from mould exposure at his Rochdale home in 2020.
The proposals would see new time limits set for repairs to unsafe homes.
Housing Secretary Michael Gove said the "strong, robust action" would help
"prevent tragedies".
Known as Awaab's Law, the proposed legal changes would force landlords in England to investigate issues within two weeks, and begin repairs within a further seven days."
