With headlines dominated by the Renters’ Rights Act, many landlords are left wondering what it means for them, particularly in Wales.

In this episode, we cut through the noise and focus on what actually applies to Welsh landlords. We break down the upcoming 1 June 2026 anti-discrimination changes, explain how they affect your day-to-day lettings process, and highlight the critical updates required for occupation contracts.

If you’re a landlord in Wales, this is essential listening to ensure you remain compliant and protect your position.

🎙️ Episode 6 – Possession Notices in Wales

In this episode of The Lettings Triad, we break down what it’s really like for tenants facing a possession notice in Wales.

With no-fault evictions still in place, landlords can serve a six-month notice, but what does that actually mean for tenants?

We cover:

• The emotional impact of living with uncertainty
• What a notice really means (and what it doesn’t)
• Why acting early is critical
• What happens if a notice is ignored
• The court process, timelines, and risk of bailiffs

We also explain why waiting until the last minute—or relying solely on advice to stay until court—can increase stress and limit options.

If you receive a notice, early action, open communication, and seeking advice from organisations like Shelter Cymru can make all the difference.

Key takeaway: A possession notice isn’t the end—it’s a window of opportunity.
