We have a complete range of tenancy agreement templates and forms that you can use to manage your own legal letting documents. Our tenancy agreement template and all of our other tenancy related agreements and forms have all been drafted by a Solicitor specialising in residential tenancy matters so you can be sure of getting up to date reliable documents. Our agreements are priced very competitively and we provide a preview function for all of our tenancy agreements so that you can view the template or form before you buy.

A tenancy agreement is a contract entered into between a landlord and their tenant that sets out the respective rights and obligations of the parties and for this reason alone it is always sensible to use a written tenancy agreement. The Housing Act 1996 states that if the parties do not agree the terms of a residential tenancy agreement then it will automatically be considered to be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement or ‘Shorthold Tenancy Agreement’ as it is more commonly known and will have a number of terms implied into it. These clauses cover matters such as termination notice requirements. Our tenancy agreement template includes all of the required clauses and also makes provision for the requirements of the recently implemented Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. The Tenancy Deposit Scheme also makes it a legal requirement to put in place a written agreement with the tenant if a deposit is going to be held. Most landlords will require that a deposit is held and so you may find our guide to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme useful. One popular tenancy agreement form is our Prescribed Information Form which a landlord must use when holding a deposit.

Our Shorthold Tenancy Agreement Template

Our tenancy agreement template is available in two versions. We have a no guarantor agreement and a version of the template that includes provision for a guarantor. The same applies to our lodger agreement which is also available in two versions of the agreement. The lodger agreement is a shorter version of the tenancy agreement template as it does not contain the same statutory required clauses that favour the tenant as provided that the landlord lives in the property the terms of the Housing Act do not apply.

There are three types of tenancy agreement that can be used when renting residential property. These tenancy agreements are: The Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (often abbreviated to Shorthold Tenancy Agreement or AST), the Assured Tenancy Agreement, and the Regulated Tenancy Agreement. The assured shorthold tenancy agreement is the most common form of tenancy agreement. It is suitable for use by a landlord letting out all or part of a private residential property. The Assured Tenancy Agreement and the Regulated Tenancy Agreement contain considerably more favourable terms for the tenant and grant very strong rights of occupation. These two types of tenancy agreement are rarely used by landlords who renting out property for short periods (periods of less than 7 years) and are more commonly used by Housing Associations.

For a tenancy agreement to be a valid assured shorthold tenancy agreement it must meet certain requirements that are set out on the Housing Act 1988. These are: The tenant must be an individual. The property must be residential and occupied by the tenant as their only or principal home. As mentioned above a tenant that is party to a shorthold tenancy agreement benefits from a number of provisions relating to notice requirements and termination of the tenancy that are provided for in the Housing Act 1996 and are included in our tenancy agreement template. For a full understanding of the differences between the three types of tenancy agreement you can read our guide to Understanding Tenancy Agreements.
