Mae'r Ddeddf yn ei gwneud yn drosedd i godi unrhyw dâl ar denant nad yw wedi'i bennu'n 'daliad a ganiateir' o dan y ddeddfwriaeth. Mae hynny'n golygu na chodir tâl ar denantiaid am bethau fel ymweliadau yng nghwmni rhywun, derbyn rhestr eiddo, llofnodi contract, neu adnewyddu tenantiaeth.
The Act makes it an offence to charge a tenant any payment that is not specified as a ‘permitted payment’ by the legislation. This means tenants cannot be charged for such things as an accompanied viewing, receiving an inventory, signing a contract, or renewing a tenancy.
