Housing Awareness Workshop 3: Understanding Disrepair, Your Rights, and the Awaab’s Law Update

Wednesday 04 February 2026
10:30 to 12:00

Join Shelter for a practical workshop designed to help you understand housing disrepair, what it means for you and your clients, and the steps you can take when a landlord fails to carry out essential repairs.

 

This session will cover:

 

What counts as disrepair
Learn how to identify common issues, understand legal definitions, and recognise when a landlord is responsible.

 

Your rights and the action you can take
We’ll walk through the process of reporting disrepair, escalating concerns, gathering evidence, and advocating effectively.

 

Update on Awaab’s Law
Get an  overview of the new requirements introduced following Awab Law, including mandatory repair timeframes, what landlords must do, and what this means for tenants and frontline workers.

 

Please note *Shelter delivers specific training for statutory services (Local authority, social workers and frontline staff such as CAB) for more information about these sessions please contact  farah_hussain@shelter.org.uk
