Repeal the Rent Smart Wales legislation. It is too cumbersome/expensive .
The legislation proposes all landlords and letting agents are licenced
to be able to let a property in Wales. This in principle does have merit However the scheme put forward is over complicated and extremely costly.
Making it illegal for individuals or agencies to let properties who are not members of a recognised organisation ie ARLA NAEA RICS or private landlords affiliations, would ensure the tenant is protected as all the above have standards and criteria members have to adhere to. Tf this is also backed up by the need to have clients money protection insurance and to be a member of an independent redress scheme like say TPO.Then there would be no need for any further costly Welsh Gov involvement.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Rent Smart legislation is a devolved matter and your petition should be directed to the Welsh Assembly.
