Asbestos remains a serious concern in older properties across Camden, where its fibers can pose significant health risks if disturbed. Exposure to asbestos can lead to fatal diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer, making proper management essential for landlords to safeguard tenants and comply with the law.

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, landlords in Camden have legal duties to manage asbestos in non-domestic properties and shared areas in residential buildings. Key responsibilities include:

• Arranging an asbestos survey to identify the location and condition of asbestos.
• Establishing an asbestos management plan to reduce exposure risks.
• Conducting regular monitoring and ensuring safe handling during any work or repairs.

Failing to adhere to these legal duties can result in serious consequences, including fines and health risks to occupants.
