NRLA link to help landlords ahead of Decent Homes Standard

The National Residential Landlords Association is linking with ArcAirTech to help landlords prepare for the introduction of Awaab’s Law and the extension of the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector.

ArcAirTech provides mould remediation and air purification systems for residential properties. The firm’s technology claims to remove up to 99.9% of mould spores from the air, on surfaces, and within porous materials. 

The system also eliminates VOCs, pathogens, allergens, and odours, helping property professionals meet the highest health and safety standards — including forthcoming regulatory requirements under Awaab’s Law.

With Awaab’s Law set to be extended beyond social housing, private landlords will soon have a legal responsibility to address damp and mould hazards within strict timeframes. In addition, the forthcoming Decent Homes Standard will place greater emphasis on ensuring rental properties are free from serious hazards and offer tenants a safe place to live.

Under the new partnership, NRLA members will benefit from a 10% discount on ArcAirTech products, free delivery and a free replacement filter with the Fixed ARC. 

An ArcAirTech spokesperson says: “We’re committed to helping property owners create safer, healthier living environments and this partnership is a big step towards making that possible at scale.

“With growing pressure on landlords to meet new housing standards and tackle persistent issues like mould, our fast-acting technology — tested in real homes and proven to deliver results — offers a practical, reliable solution.

“We look forward to working closely with the NRLA and its members to improve housing quality and tenant wellbeing across the private rented sector.”

NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle adds: “Landlords want to provide decent, well-maintained homes. Our partnership gives landlords access to proven technology that can make a notable difference in tackling mould and improving indoor air quality.

“As new housing standards come into force, this partnership will be essential in supporting responsible landlords while also safeguarding tenants’ wellbeing.”
