Commentary on Sections

Part 2 - Occupation contracts and Landlords

Chapter 6 - Model Contracts
Section 29 – Model written statement of contract

129.This section provides the Welsh Ministers with a power to issue ‘model’ written statements of occupation contracts (a landlord is required to provide a written statement of the contract because of section 31).

130.These written statements will include fundamental and supplementary terms which incorporate all of the fundamental and supplementary provisions relevant to each form of contract without modification. So, for example, there will be model written statements for secure, fixed term standard and periodic standard occupation contracts.
