Renting in Wales: Occupation Contracts and Your Rights as a Contract-Holder

Since 1 December 2022, renting in Wales has worked differently from the rest of the UK. Tenants are now “contract-holders” with “occupation contracts”. This course explains the written statement, fitness for human habitation, notice periods (including the six-month no-fault notice), rent increases, deposits and the changes coming into force in 2026.
