📅 Tenancy Terms

? Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, all tenancies are periodic with no fixed term. The rent period determines the rolling cycle of the tenancy. Most tenancies are monthly.
? Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, landlords cannot use 'sale of property' or 'moving in' grounds during the first 12 months of the tenancy (the protected period). Other grounds such as rent arrears or antisocial behaviour may be used from the start.
Notice periods are set by law and vary by ground for possession
Renters' Rights Act 2025: This tenancy is an assured periodic tenancy with no fixed term or end date. The Tenant may end the tenancy at any time by giving at least two months' written notice. The Landlord may only seek possession using the statutory grounds under Section 8 of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended).

💷 Rent & Deposit

? Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, rent cannot be increased during the first 12 months of the tenancy. Any later increase requires a statutory Section 13 notice (Form 4A) with at least two months' written notice, and must take effect at least 52 weeks after the previous Section 13 increase. Contractual rent review clauses have no effect.
Rent increases are governed by statute — contractual rent review clauses are not permitted
Tenant Fees Act 2019: Maximum deposit is 5 weeks' rent (£1,731 based on current rent). Deposits must be protected within 30 days.
Maximum 5 weeks' rent for properties under £50k annual rent
? You must protect the deposit with one of three government-approved schemes within 30 days and provide prescribed information to the tenant.

📋 Property Use & Restrictions

? Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, tenants have a statutory right under Section 16A of the Housing Act 1988 to request to keep a pet. The Landlord must respond within 28 days and cannot unreasonably refuse. Landlords cannot require the Tenant to take out pet insurance as a standalone contractual obligation (this would breach the Tenant Fees Act 2019), but may set reasonable conditions when granting consent.

📝 Inventory & Condition

? A detailed inventory is crucial for deposit disputes. Should list all items and their condition with photos.

🤝 Guarantor Details (Optional)

Note: Guarantor will need to sign a separate Guarantor Agreement. They must be UK-based with good credit.

📜 Possession Ground Disclosures 📖 Learn more

This section lets the landlord disclose possession grounds at the start of the tenancy. Disclosures are grouped below into three practical categories. Only Tier 1 (Ground 4A) operates as a statutory condition on later reliance upon the relevant possession ground — Tiers 2 and 3 are optional disclosures that do not affect the legal availability of the underlying possession grounds. The tier labels are presentational only.

✍️ Witness Signatures

💡 Witnesses are not strictly required for this type of agreement, but provide extra protection — a witness can confirm who signed and when if the agreement is ever disputed.
