Heddiw, rwy'n cyhoeddi ein bwriad i weithredu Deddf Rhentu Cartrefi (Cymru) 2016 ar 15 Gorffennaf 2022. Mae hyn yn unol â'r ymrwymiad i weithredu Deddf 2016 ym mlwyddyn gyntaf y Senedd hon, fel y nodir yn natganiad y Cwnsler Cyffredinol ar y rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol fis Gorffennaf diwethaf. Rwy’n cydnabod ei bod wedi cymryd mwy o amser na'r disgwyl i weithredu Deddf 2016, ond bu’n rhaid inni ddatblygu llawer o offerynnau statudol, ac roedd angen ymgynghori ar wahân ar rai ohonynt. Er mwyn osgoi dryswch, penderfynwyd hefyd y byddem yn cyflawni ein hymrwymiad i wella diogelwch deiliadaeth cyn gweithredu Deddf 2016, a gwnaethom hynny drwy gyflwyno Deddf Rhentu Cartrefi (Diwygio) (Cymru) 2021.
Today, I am announcing our intention to implement the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 on 15 July 2022. This is in line with the commitment to implement the 2016 Act in the first year of this Senedd, as set out in the Counsel General’s statement on the legislative programme last July. I acknowledge that it has taken longer than expected to implement the 2016 Act, but it has required the development of many statutory instruments, some of which have required separate consultation. In order to avoid confusion, we also decided to deliver on our commitment to increase security of tenure prior to implementation of the 2016 Act, which we did by bringing forward the Renting Homes (Amendment) (Wales) Act 2021.
