Cafwyd ychydig dros 1400 o ymatebion cyflawn i’r ymgynghoriad, gyda thros 90% ohonynt gan landlordiaid preifat ac asiantiaid gosod eiddo. Rwy’n ddiolchgar i bawb am roi o’u hamser i ymateb. Roedd y mwyafrif helaeth o landlordiaid ac asiantiaid gosod eiddo yn erbyn cymhwyso cyfnodau hysbysu chwe mis o hyd i denantiaethau presennol. O’r rhai hynny oedd yn gytûn, roedd y mwyafrif yn ffafrio gweithredu’r newid yn ddiweddarach. Gwnaeth y Gymdeithas Genedlaethol Landlordiaid Preswyl wrthwynebu’r estyniad, ond pe bai cytundeb iddo, awgrymodd y Gymdeithas y dylid ei oedi am hyd at ddwy flynedd. Ar y llaw arall, roedd yr holl denantiaid a chyrff cynrychioli tenantiaid a ymatebodd i’r ymgynghoriad o blaid yr estyniad arfaethedig, gyda’r mwyafrif yn dadlau y dylid ei gymhwyso o 1 Rhagfyr yn hytrach na 1 Mehefin 2023.
Just over1400 completed responses were received to the consultation, of which over 90% were from private landlords and lettings agents. I am grateful to everyone who gave their time to respond. The vast majority of landlords and letting agents were against extending six-month notice periods to existing tenancies, and of those that were in agreement most favoured applying the change at a later date. The National Residential Landlords Association opposed the extension but suggested, if the extension went ahead that it should be delayed for up to two years. On the other hand, all tenants and tenant representative bodies that replied were in favour of the proposed extension, with most also arguing it should be applied from 1 December rather than 1 June 2023.
