Welsh Landlord Eviction Notice Extension Period

Hi,

The Welsh Government announced on 17 December 2021 that they are extending the use of the current notice periods (which were extended due to the COVID-19) until 24 March 2022. 

These temporary notice periods were due to expire on 31 December 2021. For most possession claims, landlords in Wales will need to give tenants six months' notice before evicting tenants from a property using a Section 21 notice and for most grounds relied upon under a Section 8 claim.

A shorter notice period is permitted for some grounds under a Section 8 claim relating to anti-social behaviour or domestic violence, which are:

Ground 7A (4 weeks (periodic tenancy) 1 months’ notice (fixed-term tenancy);

Ground 14 (immediately after serving a section 8 notice); and

Ground 14A (at least 2 weeks).
