Nid yw Deddf 2019 yn effeithio ar fwyafrif helaeth y tenantiaethau a drefnir gan Landlordiaid Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig, a elwir hefyd yn gymdeithasau tai. Fodd bynnag, fel rydym wedi’i nodi cyn hyn, mae Deddf 2019 wedi arwain at sefyllfa na fwriadwyd mewn perthynas â lleiafrif o denantiaethau Landlordiaid Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig sy’n denantiaethau byrddaliadol sicr. Ers ei gweithredu, mae Deddf 2019 wedi arwain at wahardd Landlordiaid Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig a darparwyr llety â chymorth rhag codi ffioedd gwasanaeth mewn perthynas â thenantiaethau byrddaliadol sicr o’r fath. Mae hyn yn wahanol i’r sefyllfa mewn perthynas â mwyafrif helaeth tenantiaethau’r sector tai cymdeithasol, lle nad oes gwaharddiad ar godi ffioedd.
The large majority of tenancies issued by Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), also known as housing associations, are not affected by the 2019 Act. However, as we have noted previously, the 2019 Act has had an unintended consequence in relation to a minority of tenancies used by RSLs which are assured shorthold tenancies. Since its implementation, the 2019 Act has resulted in a prohibition on the charging of service charges by RSLs and supported accommodation providers in relation to such assured shorthold tenancies. This contrasts with the position in relation to the vast majority of tenancies in the social housing sector, which are assured tenancies, where no prohibition on service charges applies.
