How will I be told what my new rent is?
On 1 December 2022 the Renting Homes (Wales) Act came into force, and everyone who rents a home in Wales is affected. From this date your tenancy agreement converted to a Renting Homes occupation contract and you became the contract holder/s. There are different types of contract depending on the type of property you rent.
Under your occupation contract (previously your tenancy agreement) we review your rent and service charge every year and any changes we make take effect in April. Under the new Renting Homes legislation, we are required to give you at least two months’ notice of a rent increase and must issue you with a Notice of Rent Variation Form (RHW12). Please note that this form only refers to the rent and does not include any service charges (as service charges are not covered by this legislation).
