(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force,
on 23 November 2015,
certain
provisions of Part 1 of the Housing (
Wales)
Act 2014 ("the Act"). Part 1 of the Act relates to the regulation of private rented housing. Part 1 includes a requirement,
which
is subject to exceptions,
for
landlords of
dwellings
let, or to be let, under
domestic
tenancies, to register
with
the
designated
licensing authority. Similarly, agents of landlords and landlords
who
are engaged in letting or managing such
dwellings
are required to apply to the licensing authority
for
a licence.
The provisions which
come
into
force
on 23 November 2015
will
allow
for
landlords to be registered
further
to submitting necessary information to the licensing authority, and
for
both landlords and agents to make applications
for
licences to the licensing authority. In relation to licences, any related appeal against the
decision
of the licensing authority
will
be to a residential property tribunal. The licencing authority
will
have the powers to process submitted information, register landlords and to
determine
licence applications. The supply of
false
or misleading information to the licensing authority
constitutes
an offence.
(This note is not part of the Order)
