About The Service
Rent Smart Wales requires landlords to register and become licensed or employ a licensed agent in their place to undertake letting and management tasks. Cardiff Council has been designated as the single licensed authority to administer this legislation across Wales.
The service was established in November 2015. It benefits from web-based systems designed with the customer in mind, contact centre telephone technology and partnership arrangements with the 22 local authorities across Wales.
This is a unique opportunity for you to be at the forefront of professionalising the privately rented sector in Wales.
