Understanding Section 173 No Fault Eviction Notice Rules in Wales
If you rent a home in Wales under an occupation contract, receiving a Section 173 no-fault eviction notice can be unsettling. This tenant guide explains when a landlord can use the notice, how much time you should normally receive, which legal duties may affect validity, and what to do next. It covers the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, court forms, evidence, rent payments and sources of help for renters. A Section 173 notice does not itself make you leave immediately, and a landlord cannot lawfully remove you without following the court process. Read the notice carefully, keep paying rent, and obtain advice quickly if the dates or documents appear wrong.
