Which standards apply?
In Northern Ireland, the Housing Executive and registered housing associations work to the Northern Ireland Decent Homes Standard, which the Department for Communities consulted on revising in 2025–26.
We found no damp and mould timescale law in Northern Ireland when we checked in October 2026; landlords' repair obligations and the Decent Homes Standard apply.
