What should I do about asbestos?

Question

Accepted Answer

Landlords have to follow health and safety laws, including specific laws relating to asbestos. The landlord doesn’t necessarily have to remove any asbestos (e.g. if it is safer to leave it alone), but they do have to manage the risks to make sure no-one is harmed by it.
E.g. if they are renovating, an asbestos management plan must be put in place to remove it or, if the asbestos is in good condition, to make sure it isn’t disturbed. They also need to tell you about the asbestos and what you need to do to keep safe while the work takes place.
