Which Tenancy Agreement?
Answer:
The question was:
Do any of the following apply:
- No rent (or equivalent) is paid, or the property is
- A holiday let, or
- A care institution, or
- A property let as a ‘temporary expedient’ to trespassers.
Answer: These will only be an occupation contract if notice is given to the occupiers (which we do not advise). Landlord Law does not have any agreements suitable for these situations.
Or do any of the following situations apply:
- The occupation is under a business tenancy
- The occupiers have a protected tenancy under the Rent Act 1977
- The occupier has an agricultural tenancy
- This is a long lease with a term of more than 21 years
- Armed forces accommodation, and
- Short term accommodation provided by registered charities
Answer: These situations can never be an occupation contract, and the type of agreement to be used will depend on the government legislation. These situations fall outside the remit of the Landlord Law service and we do not provide suitable agreements.
Or
- Is the landlord a community or social landlord as defined in section 9 of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 ie a local authority, registered social landlord, or housing co-operative?
Answer: You will need a ‘secure’ contract as provided by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, but this is outside the scope of Landlord Law which deals solely with the private rented sector.
If you require advice or documentation in connection with any of the above, the solicitors on our telephone advice service may be able to assist.
