Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:50 pm on 18 October 2017.
This was a long discussion piece of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 as we took it through the Assembly in the previous term. Can I say to the Member that the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, whilst retaining the ability for a landlord to serve a two-month notice, will offer greater protection for contract holders through the Act’s retaliatory eviction process? So, there is a part of the Act that does give protection to tenants as well. But I’ve heard the Member and I’ve heard her strong views, and I will give that some further consideration with my team.
