Wales has its own prescribed notices under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Here is every one, grouped by what you are actually trying to do, linked straight to the official Welsh Government version.
A new contract-holder is moving in, or you are setting up the paperwork.
Rent changes, your details change, or the introductory period needs extending.
You want the property back and the contract-holder has not done anything wrong.
The contract has a landlord break clause and you want to use it.
Rent has not been paid, or the contract has been broken.
You believe the contract-holder has left without ending the contract.
One of several contract-holders has moved out or is causing problems.
There is a sub-occupation contract underneath the main contract.
Less common, mainly supported accommodation and antisocial behaviour cases.
The official explanations of how the contracts and notices work.
Where a form is prescribed for a process under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, yes, or a notice substantially to the same effect — your own wording won't do.
Form RHW16, the section 173 notice, for a periodic standard contract. It requires a minimum of six months' notice and cannot be served during the first six months of the contract.
By serving form RHW12, the notice of variation of rent. A letter, text or email asking for more rent is not a valid rent increase.
It is the written version of the occupation contract. For a new contract it must be given to the contract-holder within 14 days of the occupation date. The Welsh Government publishes model written statements you can build yours from.
From gov.wales. Every link on this page goes directly to the official version, so you always get the current form rather than an out of date copy.
Most notices in Wales only work if your compliance is in order. The Landlord Mate stores your certificates and tells you before any of them expire.
