WALES: ‘No kids, no benefits’ rental bans become illegal next month — here’s what tenants and landlords need to know
Welsh landlords have less than four weeks to get their house in order – because from 1 June, it will be illegal to turn away tenants simply because they have children or receive benefits.
The changes come in under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, which received Royal Assent last October. While most of the Act applies only in England, the anti-discrimination provisions extend to Wales – and they carry real consequences for landlords who ignore them.
From 1 June, landlords and letting agents in Wales will be banned from turning away prospective tenants at any stage of the process because they have children or claim means-tested benefits. That means no refusing viewings, no withholding property information, and no blanket “no DSS” or “no children” policies.
Breaches of the new rules can result in a fixed penalty notice – typically capped at £1,000 – and local authorities will be responsible for enforcement.
Nicola Blake, Operations Director at lettings agent Cavendish, urged landlords not to be caught out. “This is a significant change for landlords in Wales,” she said, adding that landlords needed to act well ahead of the June deadline to ensure they were fully compliant.
Landlords will still be allowed to carry out affordability checks and income assessments. Benefits can still be taken into account as part of that process. And landlords will retain the right to determine whether a property is physically unsuitable for children – such as a single room in an HMO – provided that decision is based on the property itself rather than a blanket ban on families.
All landlords in Wales must also update their tenancy paperwork before 14 June. Those who already have tenants in place will need to provide either a new occupation contract or a statement of variation setting out the new terms. Failure to do so can result in tenants claiming daily compensation.
The changes come into Welsh law through the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, with the new anti-discrimination provisions inserted as fundamental terms of all occupation contracts – meaning they apply automatically, whether or not a landlord updates their paperwork.
Wales’s rental landscape is already governed separately from England, with occupation contracts replacing tenancy agreements following the Renting Homes (Wales) Act reforms. The new anti-discrimination rules build on that framework, giving contract-holders the explicit legal right to have children live in or visit their home and preventing landlords from prohibiting tenants from claiming benefits they are entitled to.
The Welsh Government has published guidance for landlords on its website, alongside updated model written statement templates that reflect the new requirements.

Despite #BCNDP saying they’ve stopped #renovictions in #BritishColumbia they’re still very much happening. After a ruling from the Residential Tenancy Branch #RTB dozens of #Esquimalt #seniors are being kicked out in four months for the new owners to do renovations.
Many of the #renters being displaced are #LowIncome, either on #disability or a #FixedPension. As a result, most of them can’t afford market rent, and fear they could be homeless.
Because the new owner is doing renovations, not a total demolition, Esquimalt’s #Tenant Assistance Policy isn’t triggered. Any stronger policy is the #BCgovernment jurisdiction.
“It’s time for the provincial government to actually stop this from happening. If they really want to stop renovictions, then they need to change the laws,” said Douglas King, executive director of #TogetherAgainstPovertySociety.
King says what’s needed is a BC-wide #TenantAssistance #policy to better #ProtectTenants facing #displacement, but also to prevent #taxpayers from paying for the consequences down the line.
