Rent Smart Wales assists those who let or manage rental properties in Wales to comply with their Housing (Wales) Act 2014 obligations and provides advice on renting out safe and healthy homes. They also process landlord registrations, grant licences and deliver informative and relevant training for those involved in the rental market both online and in classroom venues across Wales.
Who needs to register?
Immediate landlords, those who are entitled to possession of the rental property, must complete a registration. Landlords, learn more about your legal obligations and exemptions using the following link https://www.rentsmart.gov.wales/en/landlord/landlord-registration/
Who needs a licence?
Landlords who let or manage their own property and those who let or manage on behalf of others must obtain a licence to do so. Use the following link https://www.rentsmart.gov.wales/en/licensing/ for information on how to get started.
Received a renewal reminder?
Please read your reminder carefully to understand whether it relates to your landlord registration or your licence as these are two separate processes. Visit https://www.rentsmart.gov.wales/en/renewal/ for further information.
