Awaab's Law Timeline Calculator
Enter the awareness date, then the actual investigation conclusion date, to plan the statutory clocks for social landlords in England.
Are you the housing association, not the surveyor?
DampApp Pro is built for the person carrying out the inspection. If instead you're the housing association or council itself — running Awaab's Law compliance across an entire stock, with statutory clocks, work orders, a central management portal and case-management integration (NEC, Civica, MRI, Aareon and more) rather than one report at a time — that's a different job, and it's what our sister platform HousingSurvey Pro is built for.
See HousingSurvey Pro for housing associations & councils →Hazard Details
The clock starts when the landlord first becomes aware of the potential hazard.
This starts the written-summary and safety-work clocks.
Dates shown exclude weekends but do not automatically adjust for England & Wales bank holidays. Move a shown date forward for each bank holiday in the window and verify it against current guidance. This tool is for planning only and is not legal advice.
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, covering all potential emergency hazards and potential significant damp & mould hazards. Phase 2 starts on 30 November 2026 and extends the significant-hazard requirements to a wider prescribed group. Phase 3 will cover the remaining HHSRS hazards except overcrowding; check current regulations for its commencement date. The current calculator must not be used for private rentals: the Renters' Rights Act 2025 provides for a future PRS extension, but the government's roadmap says its implementation timescales are subject to consultation.
