"Solicitor Approved and Incredibly Easy to Use"
Don't risk it
There are many templates on the internet but many are legally out of date and invalid.
They could cost you £1000's in delayed evictions. Do not make that common mistake for the sake of £15!
These legal forms and guidance notes have been professionally prepared.
No Hidden costs
Unlike most of our competitors we do not sign you up to any monthly memberships, clubs or tie-ins. It is just one simple price for a high quality and up to date legal document that gives you complete peace of mind with a same day money back guarantee.
Description
An Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement is the most frequently used tenancy agreement in the letting of residential properties. This type of agreement is also referred to as an "AST" or "Shorthold Tenancy".
Please note that from 1st December tenancies in Wales become 'Occupation Contracts' under the new laws. This download includes the two model 'written statements' (agreements).
Strong legal protection for landlords
As a landlord, being familiar with residential tenancy law is critical to maintaining your legal rights. The letting process can be safely navigated by having a document in place that protects your interests as much as possible while adhering to the law.
This document will help ensure your full legal protection.
To suit all tenancies
No two tenancy agreements are the same - each one requires different terms, depending on the situation. This agreement offers more than most others.
Of course, you also have the option to include or exclude terms that normally would be in such a template but might not be necessary for your specific case (such as a provision to use a separate managing agent).
Easy to edit
It is easy to remove what you don't want from the document because of its structure.
The language we use is plain English so your tenant will never be able to say they didn't understand it.
We also include a guarantor agreement
We always encourage landlords to put in place a third-party guarantee.
Additional included letters and forms make management even simpler
To make property management easier, we have included additional commonly used forms and letters:
- Draft inventory form
- Eviction Notices (Section 8, 21)
