Landlords in Greenwich Council: The Importance of Asbestos Surveys and Legal Responsibilities

Landlords in Greenwich Council have an important responsibility to manage asbestos safely within their properties, especially in older buildings where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may be present. When asbestos fibers are disturbed, they can cause serious health issues such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Proper asbestos management is essential to protect tenants and comply with legal requirements.

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, landlords in Greenwich Council must:

  • Carry out an asbestos survey to identify and assess any asbestos materials in non-domestic premises and communal residential areas.

  • Develop and maintain an asbestos management plan to control exposure risks.

Failure to meet these duties can result in legal penalties and endanger tenant health.
