Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016

PART 1 INTRODUCTORY

1 (1) This Schedule applies for the purpose of determining whether—

(a) it is reasonable for a landlord to refuse consent to a transaction, or

(b) a condition subject to which a landlord gives consent is reasonable.

(2) Part 2 sets out circumstances which must be taken into account for that purpose, to the extent that they are relevant (and to the extent that there is no other requirement to take them into account for that purpose; for example, under the Human Rights Act 1998 (c. 42)).

(3) Part 3 sets out circumstances (in addition to those in Part 2) which must be taken into account for that purpose in relation to specific kinds of transaction, to the extent that they are relevant (and to the extent that there is no other requirement to take them into account for that purpose).

(4) Parts 2 and 3 also set out certain circumstances in which it is always reasonable for a landlord to refuse consent or impose conditions (subject to the Convention rights of the contract-holder and any other person affected by the landlord’s decision).
