Tenancy Documents

Whether a tenant has a verbal or written agreement both are legally binding. If any problems should arise between the parties though, it is always better to have a written agreement. When a document can be produced explaining the terms of the agreement there is a good chance that a dispute can be settled fairly quickly.

A tenancy agreement generally contains the following information: the amount of the rent to be collected, the length of the tenancy, and the obligations and rights of both the landlord and tenant. One should never sign a tenancy agreement before reading it thoroughly. Things that need to be in any tenancy agreement would include the type of letting, if the tenant is responsible for any bills, who will repair something if it breaks, and what happens should the tenant want to break the agreement early.

If there is no tenancy agreement it can be the tenant’s word against the landlord’s word and this could cause unnecessary stress. Since there are many types of tenancy agreements a prospective tenant should be familiar with the different documents available in the UK.

Assured Short Hold Tenancy will be the most used document. This agreement states that for a specified period of time the tenant has the right to live in the stated accommodation. This also allows the landlord the right to reclaim the property once the tenancy agreement has ended.

If the tenant would like stronger rights they should look into an Assured Tenancy agreement. This tenancy agreement is most often made between the tenant and the Housing Association or Housing Trusts. An Assured Tenancy gives the tenant the right to live in the property for an agreed period of time as long as the terms of the tenancy agreement have not been broken.

Should a tenant be interested in the strongest protection against eviction a Regulated or Protected Tenancy agreement should be what they want. If a tenant wants to let a flat, all or part of a home, a bungalow, or maisonette they can expect to get a Regulated or Protected tenancy agreement.

How do you know which tenancy agreement is the right one for your circumstance? This will depend on how long you need to let the property. If it will be for a period of time that is from six months to about three years then an Assured Tenancy would probably be a good one since it is for a fixed time. As the tenant you will be occupying the entire building or just part of it and you will still want the Assured Short Hold tenancy agreement.

With an Assured Short Hold tenancy agreement a landlord is allowed to charge a market rent which keeps the rent from being too high compared with others of the same type. There are also specific grounds that allow a landlord to evict a tenant because of the Housing Act of 1988. Another feature of this tenancy agreement is that the landlord must use special rules as to the notice served determining the tenancy.

As a landlord or prospective tenant having a tenancy agreement is important for both parties. The different documents are available on our website.
