How the Renters Rights Act is affecting Wales: What you need to know, and do ...
Firstly - apologies for our quietness over the last few months - more to follow on that later, but for now - THIS IS IMPORTANT NEWS!
I'm seeing so much confusing information out there with how the RRA is affecting Wales.
Thankfully, it's not that complicated ... I've broken it down here 👇
⭐️ The RRA (ENGLAND) is changing a FUNDAMENTAL term in our contracts, relating to discrimination
📆 The change comes into effect on the 1st JUNE 2026
❌ (Not that you did before, but) you will not be allowed to discriminate anyone with children, or on benefits
▶️ enquiring if a property is available to rent
▶️ accessing information about a property
▶️ attending viewings
▶️ entering into a contract
* Nobody panic, I'll do an update on this in more detail!
🐶 Nothing is changing regarding PETS, but expect applicants to be confused and push back stating English legislation
✅ A Written Statement of Variation, (we haven't had the wording yet, so again, just hang fire!), must be issued to all CH's between 1st - 14th JUNE 2026
📑 Occupation Contracts will update to the new version on the 1st JUNE - make sure any contracts starting on this date and onwards have the new variation in them
