What action is the Welsh Government taking to protect tenants who face eviction due to mortgage repossession?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government | Answered on 12/05/2025

Where a landlord loses their rental property due to mortgage repossession, the new owner would inherit the landlord’s contract with the sitting tenant. The new owner would therefore have to follow the prescribed routes for possession, depending on the terms of the contract.
