Renting Homes: tenancy reform in Wales
The Welsh Government has announced a dedicated Bill on tenancy reform, based on our 2006 report, Renting Homes. The announcement, in the White Paper, Homes for Wales, makes a commitment to a Bill in this Assembly.
Frances Patterson QC, Public Law Commissioner, said: "This is really excellent news, and shows the far sighted and imaginative approach of Welsh institutions to housing reform. It is also a tribute to the work of my predecessor, Professor Martin Partington CBE, who was responsible for the project".
