Legal Disclaimer

1. Template, not legal advice

The tenancy agreement is a general template for common private residential lettings in England. It may not be suitable for every landlord, tenant, property or legal situation.

2. England only

The England tenancy template is not intended for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or any country outside England. Different rules may apply in those jurisdictions.

3. When to take professional advice

You should take independent legal advice before signing if:

• the landlord lives at the property;
• the tenant is a company or the arrangement is not a main-home letting;
• the property is social housing, holiday accommodation or complex shared housing;
• you need bespoke clauses or possession advice;
• you are unsure about deposit protection, licensing, right to rent or safety duties.

4. Legal updates

We aim to keep templates commercially useful and up to date, but law and official guidance can change. You should check that the document remains suitable before signing.
