CPS Homes

A Comprehensive Landlord Guide to Serving Tenant Notices



Our Comprehensive Landlord’s Guide to Serving Tenant Notices is specifically tailored for private residential landlords operating in Wales under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (and its associated regulations). 

Most landlords should be comfortable serving the notices we refer to in this guide, but if you have any doubts, we strongly recommend seeking legal advice. 

If you engage CPS Homes as your managing agent, we handle all notice preparation and service on your behalf.

In this guide, we cover:

  • When and why to use each notice
  • Scenarios where you may not be able to serve a notice
  • Practical examples of when each one would be served
  • Notice periods, service methods, and next steps
  • Handy, expert “Did you know?” tips for landlords

Disclaimer: This guide is up‑to‑date at the time of publication and correct to the best of our knowledge as of 01/08/2025. It covers standard occupation contracts used in the private rented sector. It does not apply to secure occupation contracts (e.g. local authority or housing association properties), company lets, or specialist scenarios such as withdrawing notices or ending a joint contract-holder’s rights while keep other contract-holder(s) bound by the terms of the contract.
