Late occupation contract? You could be due compensation!

A new law came into force in Wales in December 2022 - the Renting Homes (Wales) Act. Amongst other things, this has meant that existing private rental tenancies are being replaced by 'occupation contracts' giving tenants new rights.

If you're a private renter in Wales, you should have received a written copy of your new 'occupation contract' by Thu 1st June 2023.

If you received a written copy of your new occupation contract after this date - or still haven't received one -  you may be entitled to claim compensation. 

Please fill in the form below to register for a chat with one of our organisers about how to claim compensation and the other ways we're fighting back against landlords in Cardiff!

Specifically when you enter:

  • Your location data (residential address or postcode) it is used to locate your elected representative, to pre-populate your email signature and to provide The Campaigner with a visualisation of the location of the support for this campaign.

  • All other data you may enter, including your email address, name, telephone number, commentary and so on is used by The Campaigner to advocate for the campaign’s goals and where required may be sent to the target of the campaign.

These providers are bound by contract to only use personal information on our behalf, in accordance with agreed terms. While the privacy laws of the country in which personal information is stored or transferred may be different from those in your country, we will always have safeguards in place when storing or transferring personal information. We will never sell, rent, loan or in any other way pass your information on to other parties other than to provide this service to you and The Campaigner.
