TPAS Cymru: Tenants demand faster action on housing hazards
A new Tenant Pulse report from TPAS Cymru highlights growing concern among tenants in Wales about issues such as damp, mould, faulty electrics, and poor ventilation.
The findings come following the death of Awaab Ishak and the introduction of Awaab's Law in England.
David Wilton, chief executive of TPAS Cymru, said: "This report shows that tenants expect clear action and consistent standards when it comes to housing safety.
"The message is clear: listen to tenants, act quickly, and communicate clearly."
The Welsh Government has launched a consultation on proposed changes to housing standards.
In response, TPAS Cymru gathered tenant views on updates to the Welsh Housing Quality Standards.
The report reveals that 71 per cent of social housing tenants want all hazards addressed, not just high-risk ones.
83 per cent want consistent rules for all landlords in Wales and believe hazards should be investigated within three days.
