Government websites are creaking under the strain as tens of thousands of well-wishers rush with open arms to welcome refugees from the war in Ukraine under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

There are significant changes to the notice a contract-holder must give to a landlord with the introduction of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (“the Act”).

House prices are predicted to keep going up after 12 months of hitting record highs.

Under Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, once a contract has been agreed upon, it can be varied but only where the legislation allows. There are provisions for altering the rent and other terms. Some terms can never be changed even if both parties want to (except if varied by legislation).

According to the latest official data, buy to let rents are rising at the fastest rate since December 2016.
