Landlords - Legislation and Regulations

How can I ensure that I keep up to date with changing Regulations and Legislation?

The best way of keeping up to date is to join a Landlords Association which will keep you informed of any changes to legislation which may affect you - contact the National Landlords Association, the Guild of Residential Landlords or the Residential Landlord Association for further information.

Neath Port Talbot Council's Private Sector Housing Section runs Landlord Training Sessions as part of the Landlord Accreditation Wales Scheme and also produce a newsletter for Landlords.  Please contact m.thomas@npt.gov.uk or telephone 01639 685678 for more details.

This section of the Council also enforces housing standards and management practices in rented accommodation and they should be contacted if Landlords wish to find out about requirements in relation to room size, fire precautions, amenities etc.
