English: Well, neither of those options, because the Member has entirely forgotten that this Assembly has already passed into law the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. It's a very radical Act, which I'm very proud of. We have not been in a position to implement that Act, unfortunately, because of some arcane issues, which I won't go into because of the time, around the IT systems in the courts, but we have solved that problem now and we are now consulting on the last piece of the jigsaw to bring that Act into force. I'll just remind the Member that it brings in mandatory occupation contracts, making renting more transparent. It introduces the requirement for a dwelling to be fit for human habitation, which I'm particularly proud of, and the benches behind me were very keen on seeing as well. It includes specific requirements for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and electrical safety testing. It provides protection against retaliatory evictions, which is when a landlord evicts a tenant in response to a request for repairs or maintenance. It has a number of other things around the length of the contract and so on, which I won't go into, at the risk of incurring the Llywydd's wrath. We are now consulting on extending the period for ending periodic contracts in Wales, because the shorthold assured tenancies that she mentions will no longer exist in Wales once this Act has gone into force, so we will have mandatory two-year tenancies. So, these restrictions are in a completely different set of legal arrangements to the section 21 notice that she is talking about in the Housing Act 1988. Llywydd, here in Wales, we have moved a long way from there, and we have rebalanced the power relationship between landlords and tenants, and in implementing this Act we will be putting right many of the wrongs that the old housing Act had. We've consulted extensively with the - [ Interruption.] We have consulted extensively with the Residential Landlords Association and they are very happy with these arrangements.
Welsh: Wel, dim un o'r opsiynau hynny, oherwydd mae'r Aelod wedi anghofio'n llwyr fod y Cynulliad hwn eisoes wedi pasio Deddf Rhentu Cartrefi (Cymru) 2016. Mae'n Ddeddf radical iawn, ac rwy'n falch iawn ohoni. Nid ydym wedi bod mewn sefyllfa i weithredu'r Ddeddf honno, yn anffodus, oherwydd rhai materion astrus sy'n gysylltiedig â'r systemau TG yn y llysoedd nad af i'w trafod am nad oes amser, ond rydym wedi datrys y broblem honno yn awr ac rydym bellach yn ymgynghori ar ddarn olaf y jig-so ar gyfer gweithredu'r Ddeddf honno. Hoffwn atgoffa'r Aelod fod y Ddeddf honno'n cyflwyno contractau meddiannaeth orfodol, gan wneud rhentu'n fwy tryloyw. Mae'n cyflwyno'r gofyniad i annedd fod yn addas i bobl fyw ynddi, ac rwy'n arbennig o falch o hynny, ac roedd y meinciau y tu ôl i mi yn awyddus iawn i weld hynny hefyd. Mae'n cynnwys gofynion penodol ar gyfer larymau mwg a charbon monocsid a phrofion diogelwch trydanol. Mae'n diogelu rhag achosion o droi allan dialgar, sef pan fydd landlord yn troi tenant allan mewn ymateb i gais am waith atgyweirio neu waith cynnal a chadw. Mae'n cynnwys nifer o bethau eraill sy'n ymwneud â hyd y contract ac yn y blaen, ac nid wyf am eu trafod yn awr rhag ennyn llid y Llywydd. Rydym yn ymgynghori yn awr ar ymestyn y cyfnod ar gyfer rhoi terfyn ar gontractau cyfnodol yng Nghymru, oherwydd ni fydd y tenantiaethau byrddaliadol sicr y mae'n sôn amdanynt yn bodoli yng Nghymru mwyach ar ôl i'r Ddeddf hon ddod i rym, felly bydd gennym denantiaethau gorfodol sy'n para dwy flynedd. Felly, mae'r cyfyngiadau hyn mewn set hollol wahanol o drefniadau cyfreithiol i'r hysbysiad adran 21 y mae'n sôn amdano yn Neddf Tai 1988. Lywydd, yma yng Nghymru, rydym wedi symud ymhell o'r fan honno, ac rydym wedi ailgydbwyso'r berthynas rym rhwng landlordiaid a thenantiaid, ac wrth weithredu'r Ddeddf hon byddwn yn cywiro llawer o'r gwallau yn yr hen Ddeddf tai. Rydym wedi ymgynghori'n helaeth â'r - [ Torri ar draws.] Rydym wedi ymgynghori'n helaeth â'r Gymdeithas Landlordiaid Preswyl ac maent yn hapus iawn â'r trefniadau hyn.
