Landlords in Lambeth Council must give priority to asbestos management, particularly in older properties where asbestos-containing materials may be present. Disturbing asbestos can release hazardous fibers that cause severe health problems, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Effective asbestos control is essential for ensuring tenant safety and meeting legal obligations.

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, landlords in Lambeth Council are required to manage asbestos in non-domestic buildings and communal areas of residential properties. Their key responsibilities include:

• Conducting an asbestos survey to identify and evaluate the condition of asbestos-containing materials.
• Creating an asbestos management plan to minimize the risk of exposure.
• Monitoring asbestos regularly and ensuring safe handling during any repairs or renovations.

Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to fines and pose significant health risks for tenants and workers.
