New occupation contracts coming soon

Since 1 December 2022 the Welsh Government's Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 has changed the way all landlords in Wales rent their properties. It improved how people rent, manage, and live in rented homes – which is good news for all tenants across Wales.

What does it mean for me?
Under the new law, tenants have become ‘contract-holders’. Tenancy agreements have been replaced with ‘occupation contracts’.

The new law has made renting easier and provided greater security for all tenants.

All our tenants will shortly receive their new occupation contracts. These are large, complex documents which we legally have to send to you - but there's no need to worry.  We have a dedicated section on our website full of information on the Renting Homes Wales Act, the contracts and what they mean for you.
