An assured shorthold tenancy agreement for unfurnished residential lets in England. RRA 2025-compliant. You should still record an inventory of the property's fixtures, fittings, and condition — this template includes a schedule for that purpose.
What this document is
An unfurnished tenancy agreement creates an assured periodic tenancy under the Housing Act 1988 as amended by the Renters' Rights Act 2025. The Net Lawman template covers both furnished and unfurnished lets — for an unfurnished tenancy you complete the inventory schedule with fixtures and fittings (carpets, curtain rails, fitted appliances) but no furniture.
Why a schedule still matters
Even with no furniture, the property still has fixtures, fittings, decorative items, and white goods. A schedule of condition with photographs at the start of the tenancy protects you against disputes over wear and tear, accidental damage, or alterations.
What's included
- The tenancy agreement, drafted in plain English.
- Inventory schedule (use for fixtures, fittings, white goods).

- Protect the deposit in an authorised scheme within 30 days.
