Damp & mould compliance software in Scotland.
In Scotland, the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and powers in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 provide the local context for responding to damp and mould. The detailed Scottish Awaab's Law requirements must be checked as implementation develops.
The applicable regime
Scottish Housing Quality Standard and the Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 framework for Awaab's Law.
Three local evidence priorities
1.Label the governing Scottish requirement
Record whether the instruction concerns SHQS, repair duties, a local policy or a commenced Awaab's Law requirement. Keep the source and version beside the case instead of reusing an English deadline label.
2.Capture a defensible condition baseline
Preserve resident reports, affected rooms, visible extent, environmental readings, property context and inspection limits. A repeat visit can then show whether conditions changed after interim or permanent works.
3.Keep workflows configurable as rules develop
Use case stages, responsible people and internal target dates that can be updated centrally. A configurable record is safer than hard-coding an unconfirmed statutory period into historic cases.
Which Scottish requirement governed this case on that date?
The useful audit question is not whether an English timer was met. It is which commenced Scottish duty, quality standard, tenancy obligation or landlord policy applied, and whether the evidence shows the response against that requirement.
