How the rules work in Swansea
Renting in Swansea? Since December 2022, Welsh tenancies have been occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and tenants are called contract-holders. Most private renters hold a standard occupation contract, and the notice period for no-fault possession was extended from two months to six. Buyers exchange and complete as in England but pay Land Transaction Tax, not Stamp Duty. Land to Homes has no homes available yet; you can register interest.
In Wales, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 means tenants are contract-holders with written occupation contracts: standard contracts for most private lets and secure contracts for most council and housing association homes. Private landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets must also be licensed. Homes must be fit for human habitation.

Questions about New Homes to Rent in Swansea
How do I register interest in renting a new home?
Give us your contact details, the areas you are interested in, the type and size of home you need and roughly when you want to move. We use that to contact you about relevant homes and to understand rental demand when we plan sites. It is free, it is not an application and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.
Does Land to Homes have any homes to rent?
No, not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes available to rent. We do not take rental applications, holding deposits or fees at this stage. You can register interest with the area, type of home and timing you need, and we will contact you if we bring forward rental homes that match.
Can I apply to you for a social or affordable rent home?
No. Social and affordable rent homes are let through council housing registers and housing association lists, which set the eligibility rules and decide who is offered a home. If a site we bring forward includes affordable homes, they will be let through the relevant council or housing association. Contact your local council's housing team to join a list.
How are tenancies different in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
In Wales, tenants are contract-holders under occupation contracts set by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Most private tenancies in Scotland are open-ended private residential tenancies. In Northern Ireland, private tenancies are governed by the Private Tenancies Order, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act 2022. Each nation has its own rules on deposits, notice and landlord registration.
