In the matter of an application under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 & The Renting
Homes (Rent Determination) (Converted Contracts) (Wales) Regulations 2022
REASONS FOR THE DECISION OF THE RENT ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE
UPON the matter being considered by the Committee it is ordered that:
The Committee determines that under the provisions of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act
2016 (the ‘Act’) the appropriate rent is £900.00 per calendar month. Pursuant to clause 5 of
the regulations the new rent is to take effect from the date specified in the notice namely
29 September 2023.
INTRODUCTION
1. We were duly convened as a Rent Assessment Committee on Friday 1 December 2023 via the
Teams platform. We had before us an application dated 28 August 2023 from Rebecque Jones
and Richard Jones (the ‘Tenants’) objecting to the new rent proposed by Pamela Jayne Atkinson
(the ‘Landlord’).
2. The tenancy is held under a Periodic Standard Occupation Contract commencing 3 October
2019. The initial rent being £795.00 per month the first payment being 29th September (for
clarification no year is spec ified) and further payments are to be made on 29th of each month.
The Committee found the documentation submitted about the tenancy was very limited and,
in its experience, probably incomplete. It decided however that enough information was
provided to allow it to proceed.
3. The Landlord issued a Notice dated 24 July 2023 proposing an increase of rent to £995.00 from
£795.00 per month. The new rent was proposed to commence staring on 29 September 2023.
