Landlords in Redbridge Council must prioritize asbestos management, especially in older properties where asbestos-containing materials may still be present. If asbestos is disturbed, harmful fibers can be released, leading to serious health risks such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Proper asbestos control is essential for protecting tenant health and ensuring legal compliance.

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, landlords in Redbridge Council are responsible for managing asbestos in non-domestic buildings and communal areas of residential properties. Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting an asbestos survey to identify and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials.
• Developing an asbestos management plan to minimize exposure risks.
• Regularly monitoring asbestos and ensuring safe handling during renovations or maintenance.

Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and serious health hazards for tenants and workers.
