Sch. 9A para. 3A and cross-heading inserted (1.12.2022) by The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (Amendment of Schedule 9A) Regulations 2022 (S.I. 2022/143), regs. 1, 3 (as amended by S.I. 2022/906, arts. 1(2), 8)

I13A

1

This paragraph is incorporated as a term of all standard contracts which—

a

are mentioned in paragraph 7(1), and

b

relate to a dwelling in relation to which regulation 6(5) of the EPB Regulations (requirement to give tenant a valid energy performance certificate) applies.

2

A landlord may not give notice at a time when the landlord has not complied with regulation 6(5) of the EPB Regulations.

3

For the purposes of this paragraph, it does not matter when the valid energy performance certificate was given (and nothing in this paragraph requires that a new energy performance certificate be given to a contract-holder when a certificate given to that contract-holder in compliance with that regulation ceases to be valid under the EPB Regulations).

4

In this paragraph—

  • “the EPB Regulations” (“y Rheoliadau PYA”) means the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/3118);

  • “valid energy performance certificate” (“tystysgrif perfformiad ynni ddilys”) is to be interpreted in accordance with the EPB Regulations.
