Failing to provide a ‘complete’ Written Statement, (or not providing one at all) could mean you have to pay your Contract Holder’s (tenants) 2 months’ rent back!
You can download a Model Written Statement for free on The Welsh Assembly Government website – but be warned – you will need to go through the document line by line and compare it with your previous tenancy contract to make sure everything matches up and that none of your additional clauses are lost.
We were fed up with hearing stories about good landlords (like you) who want to provide good quality homes to good tenants, being left stuck, confused, and let down in their pursuit of training success thanks to:
that promise the world but they take all day and you don't seem to learn anything useful or that makes sense
that bore you to death with technical information and history you don't really need, so you finish the course feeling none the wiser
with no real information about how it affects you and what you need to do to put it into practice
Empowering landlords with clear, no-nonsense compliance training and practical advice for everyday situations, with handy resources to help you manage your legal obligations.
No legal jargon!
Plus the community support you need to get you through.
I know how landlords out there are feeling right now because I’m a landlord too. I am also a letting agent, and Landlord trainer, so I have a wealth of experience that I want to share with you.
The training, actions and tips I’m giving you are the ones I am using for my own properties and for my own agency.
My mission is to help all Landlords with their compliance training needs, in a no nonsense easy to implement way.
I look forward to meeting you on the other side!

To recap:
Not yet! But we are working towards this. In the meantime, this training has been planned to be supporting existing RSW courses and helping Landlords impiment the changes.
If you have a rental property in Wales, this community is for you. It doesn’t matter whether you yourself live in Wales.
On 1st December 2022, the Welsh Government introduced the Renting Homes Act 2016. This has changed everything we do as landlords, and introduced some new responsibilities too. The penalties for non-compliance are likely to be high so we’d really recommend joining for the latest information – or signing up for the FREE compliance training course!
Once you become a member, you can complete our free compliance course at your own pace and re-visit any modules as many times as you like. There will also be paid for courses which you can take, like the written statement course. The written statement needs to be with your tenants before 31st May 2023, so that one is time sensitive.
Yes! The ‘Universal Written Statement’ has been developed by Training for Professionals Online ltd, who have spent many hours making sure it works.
No – just a one time payment covers you for as many properties you have in your portfolio. We just ask, please don’t share it around as we have spent a lot of time and effort getting this to you at such a small fee.
We can’t give a definite answer for this, however it has been said that to complete a Written Statement on your own can take anywhere up to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of your AST. Our Universal Written Statements only need you to input a few details and should take less than 15 minutes!
If you download the Written Statement ‘pack’, and then realise its not for you, that’s fine. Just confirm a few things (eg. You’re not a landlord, you don’t have property in Wales, so this is no use to you/you downloaded by mistake) and we’ll offer a full money back guarantee.
