(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 (“the 1987 Act”) and the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2022 (“the 2022 Regulations”), in consequence of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (“the 2016 Act”).
Regulation 2 amends section 3 of the 1987 Act to provide that tenants under occupation contracts (see section 7 of the 2016 Act) are not qualifying tenants for the purposes of Part 1 of the 1987 Act.
Regulation 3 omits paragraph (2) of regulation 15 of the 2022 Regulations as it is superseded by the provision made in regulation 2.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this instrument.
