β οΈ Important Update for Welsh Landlords β οΈ
From 1st June 2026, new changes under the Rentersβ Rights Act will come into effect in Wales.
These changes mean landlords will need to ensure:
βοΈ New occupation contracts include the updated clauses from 1st June 2026
βοΈ Existing tenants receive written amendments to their contracts by 14th June 2026
The new legislation focuses on preventing discrimination against tenants with children or those receiving benefits, meaning some existing contract terms may no longer be enforceable.
If you are a self-managing landlord and are unsure what changes apply to you or need assistance with the required written statements/amendments, please feel free to get in touch.
Iβm happy to talk through the changes, explain what action is required, and help provide guidance on drafting the notices for your tenants.
