The National Residential Landlords Association says it welcomes a call on the Welsh Government to release a formal statement explaining policies across the private rented sector. 

The call comes in a report – from an all party Welsh parliament committee – which

makes a series of key recommendations that the NRLA supports. 

For instance, it highlights the critical need for a long-term strategy for the private rented sector in Wales. The NRLA says this should be a key feature of any effort to address the sector’s ongoing problems. 

Likewise, the committee strongly urges the Welsh Government to introduce measures to resolve the issues surrounding recruitment for environmental health and enforcement roles, which should police private rentals

In the NRLA’s view, the Welsh Government must articulate a clear vision and strengthen its evidence base through implementation of a regular Welsh Housing Survey to ensure housing policy is informed by robust, reliable data. A number of the conclusions in the Committee’s report support this approach. 

NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle says: “The committee highlights the critical need for a long-term strategy for the private rented sector in Wales, and this can go a long way towards the development of a Welsh rental market that works in the interests of good landlords and tenants.  

“However, although we welcome a number of the report’s findings, we would like to see the Committee and Welsh Government make resolving the sector’s supply crisis a top priority.”
