Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement

This template is our Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement designed for use when a guarantor is not required to guarantee the obligations of the tenant under the tenancy agreement. An Assured Shorthold tenancy Agreement refers to the type of tenancy agreement that a landlord of residential property must put in place when renting their property to a tenant. The Housing Act 1996 states that all tenancy agreements for residential property created after 1997 will automatically be deemed to be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST) unless the parties agree in writting to the conrary. In such circumstances the tenancy must then either be agreed to be an Assured Tenancy or a Regulated Tenancy. Both of these other tenancy agreements give far greater rights of occupation to the tenant and are only generally used by Housing Authorities. An Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement has certain clauses implied into it by the Housing Act 1996. These clauses relate to the rights of the parties to stipulate notice periods and the right of the tenant to require that their deposit (if one is taken) is held in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme rules. You can read our guide to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for more details. Our Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement template contains all of the required implied clauses as well as other clauses designed to make sure that the foundation for the rental relationship is as solid as it can possibly be.

You can view a full preview of our Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement by clicking the 'Preview' button above before you buy. Our AST has been drafted by a specialist residential property solicitor so that you can be confident it will cover your needs suitably and is also very easy to customise to your requirements. Once you have purchased your agreement you can edit and manage your agreement template from within your own customer control panel or download the template and save the tenancy agreement to your computer. Or both! If the agreement template is updated by us we will send you an automatic update email to confirm that the agreement has been updated and what changes have been made. Updates do not occur very often but as and when the law changes our assured shorthold tenancy agreement is updated accordingly.

As metioned above this version of our Shorthold Tenancy Agreement does not contain provision for a guarantor. This is the most popular version of our Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. However, if you are intending to rent to students or low income individuals then you may wish to consider using our Asured Shorthold Tenancy with Guarantor. The guarantor is included as a party to the agreement and must sign at the end of the agreement alongside the landlord and the tenant but will not become an active party under the agreement until such time as the tenant defaults on one or more of their obligations.We have a whole range of tenancy agreement templates that you can view in our main tenancy agreement section as well as all of the notices and forms commonly required by a landlord.
