Section 46 amends the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 regarding new requirements on landlords to include additional fundamental terms in occupation contracts. Subsections (1)–(4) amend the Welsh language text of the 2016 Act and subsections (5)–(8) amend the English language text of the 2016 Act.
	Subsections (2) and (6) amend the "Overview" in section 30 in both languages of the 2016 Act to include the prohibition of discrimination against persons with children or claiming benefits as applying to all occupation contracts under the 2016 Act.
	Subsection (3) and (7) insert new Chapter 6A into the 2016 Act in both languages, comprising the right for children to live at or visit the dwelling as new section 54A and the right to claim benefits as new section 54B. Under both sections, landlords must not interfere with or restrict the exercise of the contract-holder’s right under subsection (1) which states the contact holder under an occupation contract may permit a person who has not reached the age of 18 to live in or visit the dwelling. Similarly, new section 54B provides that the landlord under an occupation contract must not prohibit the contract-holder from being a benefits claimant within the meaning given by section 8J of the Renting Homes (Fees, Discrimination etc.) (Wales) Act 2019.
	Subsections (4) and (8) amend the Tables in Schedule 1 to the 2016 Act in both languages to reflect new sections 54A and 54B which are fundamental provisions of all occupation contracts.
