Round 1 - July 2014

Caerphilly County Borough Council – Equalities and Welsh Language Team

The project produced equalities/discrimination guidance for private landlord groups, the National Landlords Association, housing associations, Welsh local government, and Citizens Advice Bureau, which can be adapted to local circumstances.  The Guidance document covers the Common Housing Register and equality laws, landlord and tenant case law examples, a ‘know your tenant’ guide, a list of contact details for local and national equalities organisations that landlords and tenants can access for further advice and support.

The funding supported a revamp of the CIH online information service, accessed here to fully cover the private rented sector aimed at both existing and prospective tenants and their advisers. 

It is of particular benefit to recent migrants who are often forced into poorer parts of the sector and are unaware of their rights and find it difficult to access advice services.
