ResiSure and Awaab’s Law: Why a New Era of Property Compliance Starts Here

In October 2025, a new chapter in UK property legislation begins. Awaab’s Law, a component of The Renters Rights Bill, will come into force, requiring social housing landlords to investigate damp and mould complaints within 14 days, provide written outcomes within 48 hours, and begin repairs within a week.

Emergency hazards must be resolved within 24 hours, or tenants must be relocated.

For landlords and property managers across the country, this isn’t just another regulatory hoop to jump through. It’s a wake-up call. The rental sector is being asked to step up, act faster, and take a far more proactive approach to tenant safety.

That’s exactly why ResiSure was created.

Grounded in Tragedy, Driven by Innovation

ResiSure is a UK-based property technology company built by landlords, homeowners and parents who know what it’s like to deal with the devastating effects of moisture, damp and mould. But more than that, it’s a business with a clear purpose: to ensure every rented property in the UK is safe to live in.

The idea for ResiSure began with a simple, but powerful realisation: while landlords were being asked to do more to meet evolving legal and ethical standards, the tools available to help them were outdated, unreliable, or inaccessible. In most cases, investigations were reactive—dependent on tenant complaints, slow inspections, or professional surveys.

“We didn’t set out just to build a product,” says Matthew Whiting, ResiSure’s CTO. “We set out to solve a problem that was costing landlords money, costing tenants their health, and costing the industry its reputation.”

The result is a smart, connected solution that bridges the growing gap between landlord responsibility and tenant well-being.

How ResiSure Technology Works

At the heart of ResiSure’s offering is a discreet, smartphone-sized sensor that installs in under five minutes. It requires no mains power, no Wi-Fi, and no hard wiring—making it one of the most accessible compliance technologies on the market today.

Once deployed, each sensor collects real-time data every 30 minutes, monitoring humidity, temperature, air quality, heat loss, and moisture levels. This data is automatically fed into a secure, cloud-based dashboard where landlords and managing agents can view live conditions across their portfolio.

What sets ResiSure apart, however, isn’t just its ease of use. It’s the intelligence behind it. Each property is assessed using ResiSure’s proprietary Mould Index, a diagnostic tool developed alongside the University of Exeter that goes beyond surface symptoms to uncover the true source of a problem—whether it’s underheating, poor ventilation, a slow leak, or structural defects.

That level of insight empowers landlords to act before issues escalate, and to meet the requirements of Awaab’s Law with confidence and credibility.

Taking the Guesswork Out of Disputes

One of the biggest sources of frustration for landlords today is the growing number of disputes surrounding damp and mould. In many cases, tenants and landlords disagree about where the onus for the problem lies, resulting in complaints, fines, and reputational damage.

ResiSure changes that dynamic. By creating a clear, timestamped audit trail of environmental conditions, the system brings objectivity to an otherwise subjective issue.

“With ResiSure, the data does the talking,” says Whiting. “Landlords can respond faster, address issues earlier, and protect both their tenants and their business from unnecessary risk.”

Serving Every Type of Landlord

ResiSure isn’t just for institutional portfolios. The technology is designed to scale, making it just as relevant to a single-property landlord as it is to a national housing provider.

Private landlords benefit from the affordability and fast installation. Letting agents and managing agents gain oversight across dozens—or hundreds—of properties. Social housing providers and build-to-rent (BTR) operators can integrate ResiSure into broader asset management strategies for optimal visibility.

Whoever the end user, the goal is the same: to enable early identification, drive proactive maintenance, and create safer, healthier rental homes across the UK.

A Vision for the Future of the Rental Sector

As the government prepares to introduce even more rigorous housing safety rules in 2027, forward-thinking landlords are already taking action. But ResiSure’s team believes this moment isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about shifting the culture of landlord accountability.

“We want to support landlords, not catch them out,” says Whiting. “But we also believe that safety shouldn’t be negotiable. If we can provide the tools to make compliance easier, quicker, and more affordable, then everyone wins.”

ResiSure’s wider mission and values speak to this dual focus. The company is committed to:

• Championing tenant safety through early detection.
• Supporting landlords with affordable, scalable tools.
• Reducing fuel poverty and heat loss in UK homes.
• Creating transparency to prevent legal stalemates.
• Constantly adapting to new legislation and housing trends.

In short, ResiSure doesn’t just monitor properties—it builds trust between landlords and tenants at a time when that relationship is under increasing strain.

Final Thoughts

Damp and mould aren’t going away—but with the right technology, landlords can finally get ahead of the problem. As enforcement begins under Awaab’s Law, landlords need more than good intentions. They need fast, reliable data that proves they’ve acted—and acted early.
