From 1^st June, we are writing to all tenants about updates to your occupation contract.

This letter is called a ‘notice of variation’.

• You don’t need to take any action
• You don’t need to reply
• You don’t need to contact us

This is a legal requirement across Wales, so everyone living in rented accommodation will receive information in the coming weeks.

 What does this mean for you?

The notice includes new rights and protections within your contract.

These include:

• You cannot be treated unfairly because you have children
• You cannot be treated unfairly because you claim benefits

·        These protections already exist but the update means they are now clearly written into your contract.

     When you get your letter please read it carefully and keep it safe with your contract paperwork.

Why is this change happening?

There have been many changes in England under Renters Right Act and , some key provisions also apply in Wales, particularly relating to anti-discrimination and mandatory contract terms. The Welsh Government has updated the Renting Homes legislation to incorporate these legislative changes.
