Example Notice Terminating Occupation Contract Due to Abandonment RHW28

This Example Notice Terminating Occupation Contract Due to Abandonment RHW28 is prescribed by the Welsh Government.  The form should be used by a landlord who following investigations believes that the contract-holder, or all contract-holders under a joint contract, have abandoned the dwelling, and who has received no response from the contract-holder to the RHW27 warning notice during the four week warning period.   

The landlord can issue RHW28 to the contract-holder on the day the property is to be repossessed bringing the occupation contract to an end without the need for a court order.  Copies of the notices should be provided to any lodger or sub-holder of a contract-holder.

Where only one joint contract-holder does not occupy and does not intend to occupy the dwelling while the occupation contract continues with the others, use the separate section 225 procedure and Forms RHW29 and RHW30. Do not use RHW29/RHW30 as a substitute for RHW27/RHW28 where the landlord believes the dwelling has been abandoned by all contract-holders and the section 220 conditions are met.

The prescribed forms should be used to ensure compliance with s220-224 Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 .

For more information see the Guidance on Terminating Standard Occupation Contracts.
