Staying ahead of the curve - how Lister is supporting landlords with new damp and mould compliance law

This legislation will require social landlords to respond to damp and mould complaints within 14 days, carry out repairs within seven days, and fix emergency hazards within 24 hours. And with proposed extensions through the Renters' Rights Bill, these responsibilities may soon apply across the entire private rented sector.
At Lister, we’re not just preparing for this shift. We’re leading it.

• Detect early warning signs: Spot mould-prone conditions long before visible damage occurs.
• Stay compliant: Maintain digital records that show active monitoring and timely action.
• Protect tenants’ health: Ensure healthier living environments and reduce respiratory risks linked to poor air quality.

Key features that make a difference:

• Precision monitoring: Tracks temperature, humidity, and CO₂ in real-time.
• NB-IoT connectivity: Provides reliable, low-power data transmission — even in hard-to-reach areas

• Up to five-year battery life: Long-term, low-maintenance deployment.
• Seamless integration: Easily plugs into existing property management systems.
• Wide applicability: Perfect for housing associations, care homes, offices, and more.
