Awaab's law seeks to change the rules around renters, landlords and mould
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The inquest into his death found that, despite repeated reports by his parents about the property's uninhabitable conditions, their concerns were dismissed and the housing association failed to take sufficient action. In response to his tragic death, new legislation known as Awaab's law now requires social housing associations in the UK to urgently address all damp and mould hazards that present a significant risk of harm to tenants."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating political PAC finances and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet appeals for donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and avoids paywalls so reporting remains accessible, relying on support from those who can afford it. Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old child, died in 2020 from prolonged mould exposure in social housing. Awaab's law now requires UK social housing associations to remediate damp and mould hazards that risk tenant harm. Individual actions like opening windows and using dehumidifiers can help but are not always affordable or sufficient to ensure good indoor air quality.
