The Welsh Government is considering amendments to the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, which came into force in December 2022. The review focuses on the effectiveness of notice periods, fitness for human habitation standards, and additional protections for tenants in the private rented sector.
Wales operates a separate tenancy regime from England under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
The Act replaced assured shorthold tenancies with occupation contracts and introduced mandatory fitness for human habitation standards.
