England Tenancy Agreement
A tenancy agreement for a private rented home in England, laid out as the landlord's written statement of terms — the document the tenant must be given before the tenancy is entered into. It is an assured periodic tenancy with no fixed end date: it runs month to month until it is ended under the law. Fourteen numbered sections with space for every detail — the parties, the property, rent, the deposit, landlord and tenant obligations, ending the tenancy, bills, the inventory, access, pets and notices — then signatures. You receive a Word file you can type into and printable PDFs in A4 (5 pages) and US Letter (6 pages); the PDFs have no fillable form fields. For a home in England let to one or more people who will live there as their only or main home. Not for Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, a lodger in your own home, a holiday let or a company let. Legal information, not legal advice: written for England as the law stood on 15 September 2026. Instant digital download; no physical item is posted.
