This applies to Wales only.
The Welsh Government released a statement yesterday evening to confirm Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 that was due to come into force from 15 July 2022, has now been deferred until 01 December 2022. This means tenancy agreements and notice periods will remain at the same for the time being. Compliance with the Fitness for Human Habitation requirements will not be required until 1 December 2022. We would however strongly recommend electrical safety checks be carried out and that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms be installed regardless as this will still be a requirement albeit a bit delayed. It also ensures the landlords are being diligent in ensuring their properties are safe and that they follow Rent Smart Wales best practice.
