Y llynedd, ymgynghorodd Llywodraeth Cymru ar gynigion i newid y ffordd y caiff ffioedd eu codi gan asiantaethau gosod tai, landlordiaid a thrydydd partïon ar denantiaid yn y sector rhentu preifat, yn dilyn pryderon a godwyd gan Carl Sargeant, cyn\-Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau. 

 Cytunodd mwy na hanner y rheini a ymatebodd i'r ymgynghoriad, gan gynnwys nifer sylweddol o landlordiaid, y dylid gwahardd ffioedd diangen.  

 Canfu'r ymgynghoriad fod lefel y ffioedd y mae asiantaethau yn eu codi ar denantiaid yn amrywio'n fawr \- roedd y ffioedd a gofnodwyd gan denantiaid yn amrywio rhwng £50 a £1,700 am y cytundeb yn unig.  

 Dyma rai o'r prif bethau a ddaeth i'r amlwg drwy'r ymgynghoriad: 

  * Roedd 56% o bawb a ymatebodd yn cytuno y dylid gwahardd ffioedd diangen yn llwyr
* Lle caiff ffioedd eu codi, dywedodd y tenantiaid y codir £249\.47 ar gyfartaledd arnynt i ddechrau tenantiaeth, £108 i adnewyddu tenantiaeth a £142 ar ddiwedd tenantiaeth.
* Dywedodd 62% o denantiaid fod ffioedd wedi effeithio ar eu gallu i symud i eiddo rhent, a dywedodd 86% fod ffioedd wedi effeithio ar eu penderfyniad i ddefnyddio asiant.
* Nid oedd 61% o landlordiaid yn gwybod pa ffioedd yr oedd eu tenantiaid yn talu eu hasiant.

Dywedodd Rebecca Evans:   
> "Fe gawson ni nifer uchel dros ben o ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad, a dw i'n credu bod hyn yn adlewyrchu pa mor gryf mae pobl yn teimlo am y mater.  Mae rhai o'r ffioedd y mae tenantiaid yn eu talu ar ddechrau eu tenantiaeth yn anghredadwy, ac maen nhw'n effeithio ar eu gallu i symud i'r sector rhentu preifat neu i symud o fewn y sector.  
> 
>  "Dw i'n awyddus i weithio'n agos gyda thenantiaid, landlordiaid ac asiantaethau gosod tai i sicrhau bod y costau y mae pobl yn eu hwynebu yn rhesymol, gan ei gwneud yn haws iddyn nhw gael llety rhent preifat. Dw i hefyd yn chwilio am gyfleoedd i weithio gyda landlordiaid ac asiantaethau preifat i wella a moderneiddio'r sector i bawb. 
> 
>  "Mae llety rhent preifat yn rhan gynyddol o'r sector tai yng Nghymru, gan gyfrif am ryw 15% o bob aelwyd, a dw i am iddo fod yn opsiwn diogel a deniadol. 
> 
>  "Dw i eisoes wedi cyhoeddi fy mwriad i gyflwyno Bil sy'n gwahardd ffioedd yn y sector rhentu preifat.  Mae casgliadau'r ymgynghoriad hwn yn ychwanegu at y dystiolaeth dros yr angen i weithredu i fynd i'r afael â'r ffioedd sy'n cael eu codi ar denantiaid ar hyn o bryd.  Fe wna i nawr fynd ati i gwblhau'r cynigion deddfwriaethol a chyflwyno Bil i'r Cynulliad yn nes ymlaen eleni."

 Ymatebodd mwy na 680 o unigolion a sefydliadau i'r ymgynghoriad, ac mae crynodeb o'r ymatebion hynny yn cael eu cyhoeddi heddiw.

Last year, the Welsh Government consulted on proposals to change the way fees are charged by letting agents , landlords and third parties to tenants in the private rented sector, following concerns raised by former Cabinet Secretary for Communities Carl Sargeant. 

 More than half of those who responded to the consultation, including a significant number of landlords, agreed that unnecessary fees should be banned.  

 The consultation found that there is a broad range in the level of fees that tenants are charged by agents – fees reported by tenants ranged between £50 and £1,700 just for entering into an agreement.  

 Key consultation findings include: 

  * 56% of all respondents agreed with an outright ban on unnecessary fees
* When fees are charged, tenants say that, on average, they are charged £249\.47 to begin a tenancy, £108 to renew a tenancy and £142 at the end of a tenancy
* 62% of tenants said that fees have affected their ability to move into a rented property, while 86% say that fees have affected their decision to use an agent
* 61% of landlords did not know what their tenants were charged by their agent.

  Rebecca Evans said: 

 
> “We received an extremely high number of responses to the consultation and I believe that this reflects the strength of feeling on this issue.  Some of the fees tenants currently pay up\-front are eye\-watering and are affecting their ability to move into or within the private rented sector.  
> 
>  “I am keen to work closely with tenants, landlords and letting agents to ensure that the costs people face are reasonable, enabling them easier access to private rented accommodation. I am also seeking opportunities to work with private landlords and agents to improve and modernise the sector for everyone involved.
> 
>  “Private rented accommodation is a growing part of the housing sector in Wales accounting for around 15% of all dwellings, and I want it to be a secure and attractive option. 
> 
>  “I have already announced my intention to bring forward a Bill which bans fees in the private rented sector.  The findings from this consultation add to the evidence that action is needed to address the fees currently charged to tenants.  I will now finalise these legislative proposals and introduce a Bill to the Assembly later this year.”

More than 680 individuals and organisations responded to the consultation and a summary of those responses are being published today.
