1/6 We have submitted our response to the @WelshGovernment's consultation about plans to extend the six-month notice period landlords are required to give to apply to existing tenancies
2/6 Shelter Cymru supports increasing the notice period for pre-existing tenancies from two months to six months as soon as the Renting Homes (Wales) Act comes into force on 1 December 2022 #RentingHomes #Wales
3/6 We are pleased that the @WelshGovernment has championed the benefits of longer notice periods - allowing more time to find alternative accommodation locally in our pressurised housing market, for moves to be planned and disruption to family life and finances to be minimised
4/6 Our own caseload has seen a 114% increase in “no fault” #section21 eviction notices since last year. We are constantly hearing how difficult it is to find alternative homes - both for individual households and for local authorities seeking to assist them #nofaultevictions
5/6 Private renters in Wales face a perfect storm: The existing housing supply emergency, where social housing is like gold dust and ownership is a long way out of reach; the highest rent increase levels outside of London; and a further squeeze on budgets from rising bills
6/6 We believe that certainty for all renters is needed now more than ever and should be introduced as soon as possible bit.ly/3Spw8LK
