Every landlord granting a new assured tenancy without a written agreement from 1 May 2026 — or any landlord with an existing oral tenancy — must provide one.
Written Statement of Terms: Required for tenancies that do not have an existing written tenancy agreement (oral tenancies, informal arrangements).
Government Information Sheet: Required for tenancies that do have a written agreement (your AST covers the prescribed information). The Information Sheet is a separate, free government document — expected from GOV.UK from March 2026.
If you're unsure which applies to you, and your tenancy has a written AST agreement, you likely only need the Information Sheet. If there's no written agreement, you need this Written Statement.
A Written Statement of Terms must include all prescribed information under the 2026 Regulations including landlord details, rent terms, deposit protection, and statutory obligations for compliance.
The 2026 Regulations prescribe specific information that must be included in a Written Statement. Our builder maps every output clause to the relevant regulation requirement:
Our builder ensures nothing is missed — every regulation requirement generates the correct clause.
Failing to provide a Written Statement of Terms exposes landlords to £7,000 penalties, criminal liability, rent repayment orders, and potential banning from letting under the Renters' Rights Act 2025.
A £10 Written Statement builder vs a potential £7,000 penalty. The regulations are clear, the penalties are significant, and local authorities have been given the resources to enforce them.
Protect yourself with a professionally structured Written Statement for £10.
Our Written Statement of Terms builder generates regulation-mapped output covering landlord details, rent terms, deposit information, and all statutory obligations required under the 2026 Regulations.
Related documents: Landlords providing Written Statements typically also need Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, Inventory & Schedule of Condition, and Deposit Protection Notice.
Avoid critical mistakes including confusing Written Statement with Information Sheet, missing deadlines, incomplete prescribed information, and wrong service addresses.
Our builder helps you avoid every one of these pitfalls.
Don't forget: Deposit protection, EPC, Gas Safety Certificate, EICR, and the Government Information Sheet are separate requirements for assured tenancies under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Sorting the paperwork? Our Renters' Rights Essential Pack brings together the template documents you'll need for the new rules in one bundle.
A Written Statement of Terms is a document setting out the prescribed information about an assured tenancy.
It's required by Section 16D of the Housing Act 1988 (inserted by Section 12 of the Renters' Rights Act 2025) for tenancies that don't have a written tenancy agreement.
It's not a tenancy agreement — it's a separate compliance document that tells the tenant the key terms of their tenancy, their statutory rights, and the landlord's obligations.
If your tenancy already has a written assured tenancy agreement (such as an AST), you probably don't need a Written Statement.
Instead, you'll need to provide the government's Information Sheet — a separate, free document available from GOV.UK from May 2026.
The Written Statement is specifically for tenancies that don't have a written agreement — oral tenancies, informal arrangements, or situations where terms were never put in writing.
First offence: civil penalty of £4,000 to £7,000.
If you still haven't provided one 28 days after the required date, it becomes a criminal offence — or a civil penalty of up to £40,000.
Repeat offences within 5 years carry penalties up to £40,000.
Local housing authorities enforce these penalties. They have been given additional resources under the Renters' Rights Act to pursue non-compliant landlords.
Many landlords complete this confidently without one.
Our builder is structured following the 2026 Regulations and includes all prescribed information requirements with clear guidance throughout.
Consider solicitor review for complex circumstances, supported accommodation, or if you're unsure whether a Written Statement or Information Sheet applies to your situation.

Prior Notices are advance warnings to the tenant that you may rely on certain possession grounds in future (e.g., Ground 1 — landlord occupation, Ground 1A — sale of property).
Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, using certain grounds without having given a Prior Notice can result in a fine.
Our builder includes an optional Prior Notices section — strongly recommended by leading property law firms as a defensive measure. You don't need them now, but you'll be glad you served them if circumstances change.
