Why continuous monitoring matters now
Awaab's Law (in force from October 2025) requires social landlords in England to investigate and respond to damp and mould reports within strict statutory deadlines. Private landlords are likely to follow a similar framework over the next 1–2 years.
A spot inspection during a dispute tells you the humidity right now. Continuous monitoring tells you the humidity for the last 12 months — when it was high, for how long, and what changed. That distinction is the difference between a contested dispute and a documented record.

What the data shows
A typical Envora deployment in a rental property captures:
- Relative humidity and temperature, minute-by-minute, per room
- Dew-point trend (the real predictor of surface condensation)
- CO₂ as a ventilation gauge — was the tenant ventilating?
- VOC as a cleaning-chemistry gauge
The combination tells you whether the property has a structural damp problem (high humidity that does not recover even when ventilation is good), an occupancy problem (high humidity correlated with closed windows and high CO₂), or a building services problem (broken extractor fans, blocked trickle vents).

How a deployment works
One Envora One per property as a starting point, placed in the most damp-prone room (typically the bathroom or a north-facing bedroom). Multi-property landlords typically deploy 2–4 devices per property in a phased rollout, prioritising units with prior damp history.
Devices ship plug-in; the tenant just connects to WiFi. Tenant-safe access links can show summary data (not raw room-by-room) so the relationship stays transparent.
Envora Fleet (£3/device/mo at Starter, £5 at Team) provides the multi-property dashboard, monthly per-property health reports and CSV exports for dispute evidence.
