English: I think Caroline Jones contradicted herself quite a few times during her speech. On the one hand, she tells us that landlords like long tenancies, on the other hand, she tells us that they can't exist if they don't have six-month shorthold assured tenancies. So, you can't have both of those things. The renting homes Act, which is already enacted - it doesn't require to be enacted, it is already enacted by this Assembly, it is already an Act - needs to be commenced. There's quite a big difference between those two things. It will be commenced by the end of this Assembly term. Clearly, we can't commence any amendments to the Act before we've commenced the Act, so they will be commenced at the same time. There have been serious administrative and ICT difficulties in commencing the Act, but it is certainly enacted. The minimum period of security of tenure of 12 months in Wales is put in place by that Act, which this Assembly saw fit to pass. It is a groundbreaking Act, and it certainly does change the circumstances for the private rented sector in Wales. However, we have absolutely no evidence that good landlords will be put off by the Act - why would they be? Any good landlord at the moment would want security of tenure of 12 months for a decent tenant - why would that change? The only thing this will do is make sure that rogue landlords, who treat their tenants very badly, by putting them permanently under notice to quit and enacting retaliatory evictions, will no longer be able to operate inside the private rented sector in Wales.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod Caroline Jones wedi gwrth-ddweud ei hun fwy nag unwaith yn ystod ei haraith. Ar y naill law, mae hi'n dweud wrthym fod landlordiaid yn hoffi tenantiaethau hir, ac ar y llaw arall, mae'n hi dweud wrthym na allan nhw fodoli os nad oes yna denantiaethau sicr o chwe mis. Felly, nid oes modd cael y ddau beth hwn. Y Ddeddf rhentu cartrefi, sydd wedi ei deddfu eisoes - nid oes angen iddi gael ei deddfu, fe gafodd ei deddfu eisoes gan y Senedd hon, mae hi eisoes yn Ddeddf - mae angen ei chychwyn hi. Mae gwahaniaeth mawr iawn rhwng y ddau beth. Bydd yn cael ei chychwyn erbyn diwedd y tymor Seneddol hwn. Yn amlwg, ni allwn gychwyn unrhyw ddiwygiadau i'r Ddeddf cyn inni gychwyn y Ddeddf, felly fe fyddan nhw'n cychwyn ar yr un pryd. Cafwyd anawsterau gweinyddol a TGCh difrifol wrth gychwyn y Ddeddf, ond mae'n sicr yn Ddeddf. Mae'r cyfnod sicrwydd deiliadaeth byrraf o 12 mis yng Nghymru yn cael ei roi ar waith gan y Ddeddf honno, y gwelodd y Senedd hon yn dda i'w phasio. Mae hon yn Ddeddf arloesol, ac yn sicr mae'n newid yr amgylchiadau ar gyfer y sector rhentu preifat yng Nghymru. Eto i gyd, nid oes gennym unrhyw dystiolaeth o gwbl y bydd landlordiaid da yn cael eu drysu gan y Ddeddf - pam ddylai hynny ddigwydd? Fe fyddai unrhyw landlord da ar hyn o bryd yn awyddus i gael sicrwydd deiliadaeth o 12 mis ar gyfer tenant addas - pam fyddai hynny'n newid? Yr unig beth y bydd hyn yn ei wneud yw sicrhau na fydd landlordiaid twyllodrus, sy'n trin eu tenantiaid yn wael iawn, drwy eu rhoi nhw o dan rybudd i ymadael yn barhaus ac yn eu troi nhw allan yn ddialgar, yn gallu gweithredu mwyach o fewn y sector rhentu preifat yng Nghymru.
