Members are at the forefront of the current changes in the Welsh housing market brought about by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act. Their work includes allocation policy review and anti-social behaviour mandates. The set also regularly acts on possession claims. One interviewee enthuses: "The team has been excellent at providing advice on new legislation with no precedents to work from. The barristers have kept abreast of developments and the impact this had on any works in process."
