Rent Smart Wales

Since November 2015, all landlords and agents in Wales have been required to register and become licensed via Rent Smart Wales.  It is intended that this legislation will result in:

• improved standards of letting and management practice in the private rented sector
• information on properties available for tenant verification
• information on landlords and agents available for local authorities to assist with strategic intervention and dissemination of information
• raised awareness by landlords and agents of their respective rights and responsibilities
• in turn, raised awareness by tenants of their respective rights and responsibilities.
