Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 · 2016 c.1

Part 9: TERMINATION ETC. OF OCCUPATION CONTRACTS — CHAPTER 6: FIXED TERM STANDARD CONTRACTS: END OF THE FIXED TERM

185(1)

A written statement of a fixed term standard contract may, as regards the periodic standard contract which may arise under section 184(2) ("the potential contract"), set out what the terms of that contract would be under section 184(3) to (5) by—

(a) identifying the terms of the fixed term standard contract that will not be terms of the potential contract, and setting out the terms that will apply only to the potential contract, or

(b) separately setting out all of the terms of the potential contract.

185(2)

Where a written statement of a fixed term standard contract addresses the potential contract in accordance with subsection (1)—

(a) the written statement is not incorrect (see section 37) merely because it addresses the potential contract;

(b) the landlord is to be treated as having complied with the requirement in section 31(1) (provision of written statement) in relation to the potential contract, and

(c) the terms of the potential contract may not be enforced against the contract-holder before the occupation date of that contract (and accordingly, section 42 does not apply).
