Possession Claims Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act - Practice & Procedure

Introduction

The Renting Homes (Wales) Act (‘RHWA’) has changed the legal landscape in Wales regarding the letting of residential property. Landlords and agents now find themselves under substantial obligations and facing complex, technical procedures. It is very important, therefore, that legal practitioners are confident in advising on compliance, notice requirements, possession routes and the risks of non compliance.

This webinar will provide a practical and comprehensive overview of the key obligations imposed on landlords under RHWA and examine the common issues practitioners are likely to encounter. The full possession journey will be covered; from serving notice through to court proceedings and enforcement, as well as a guide on the implications for landlords if the statutory requirements are not followed correctly.
