Fast Facts!

In Wales now there are very few opportunities for a landlord to give notice to his Contract Holders within a fixed term.

It will have to be a fixed term of 2 years in order to add a break clause which can only be implemented after 18 months and will be a 6 month notice a RHW24 will be needed to achieve this.

In a converted fixed term contract and still within the same fixed term that started before Dec 1st 2022 a RHW38 notice can be served within the fixed term to end the contract with 2 months notice but not to end before the end of the fixed term.

Otherwise a notice can only be served after the fixed term ends and the contract becomes periodic. 

Any new contract even if it is periodic from the start cannot be ended with a notice served within the first 6 months, it can only be served after the first 6 months and will be a 6 month RHW16 notice. 

However the contract holders will also be tied within the fixed term but then can give notice to leave when the contract is periodic of normally one month.
