From 15 July 2022, the way landlords and agents rent properties in Wales will change following the implementation of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. This Act replaces various, complex pieces of legislation with one clear legal framework.

It brings positive change to benefit both landlords and tenants.

Landlords will now have clear guidelines and model contracts, to assist with the establishment of tenancies and a simpler way of legally accessing an abandoned property. Tenants will benefit from extended tenancy periods and should feel more confident approaching their local Council for help with poor property conditions.

You will need to learn about the new requirements and make changes to your business practices to ensure you get it right from the outset.

To help you get your preparations underway, we will be sharing new guidance as it emerges. Learn more about the Act and how these changes will impact you by contacting us for a 25 minute consultation.
