Legal help, services and support for private residential landlords
Although it is possible to create a tenancy without a tenancy agreement it is a very bad idea.
On Landlord Law we have a wide selection of plain English style tenancy agreements along with supplement forms, clauses and articles and information about tenancy agreements.
You will find information about all of these along with links in the boxes below.

Granting a tenancy to a tenant is a significant act. Not only are you effectively losing control of your property (which is why you need to be careful who you let to). But there are also a number of procedures that need to be followed at this time. Failure to do this can result in fines and penalties.
To help with this, we have created a special checklist that takes you through all the actions you need to take.
You will find the checklist here.
We have quite a few different tenancy agreement templates, which members can create using our document generator system. When creating the tenancy agreements there are also a number of options (such as whether to include guarantors, how the bills are to be paid etc).

They can all be found on this page.
We have a number of additional clauses for members use. For some reason, people often struggle to find them, but they can all be found at the bottom of the tenancy agreements page linked above.
Note that we have some help articles here and a tour guide here explaining how our system works.
Members experiencing problems can ask for support via the green button support system.
As well as the tenancy agreement forms themselves, there are a number of other forms which members can use. These are:
