RSH chief executive Fiona MacGregor said: "Our investigation reveals significant failures in the way RBH manages damp and mould in its homes, resulting in harm to tenants. "RBH needs to address the issues we have found and we will take further action if it fails to do so."Housing Secretary Michael Gove said RBH's failures "meant that Awaab Ishak needlessly and tragically lost his life".
The minister added: "We must honour Awaab's memory, so I am looking at new measures - including legislation - that will go further to deliver urgent action when people complain about damp and mould and make sure the rights of tenants are respected."
