Our Assured Shorthold tenancy agreements are professionally prepared to include all necessary legal clauses, information relating to the Tenancy Deposit Regulations and  mandatory statutory Prescribed Information. Our Tenancy Agreements are regularly checked and updated in order to comply with any new regulations that come into force.

Term

The agreement is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, which means that the tenant can stay in the property for the period of the lease, provided they meet all the obligations of the tenancy with an initial minimum term of six or twelve months.

Notice Period

If the landlord wishes to end the tenancy at or after a fixed term, or whilst there is a periodic tenancy in place, we will serve what is known as a Section 21 Form 6a, which gives the tenant(s) two months’ notice before the tenant(s) have to vacate the property.

Early Surrender

Due to the terms of the agreement, the tenant is contracted to remain at the property until the end of the period stated in the agreement.  Should the tenant decide to leave at the end of the period stated in the agreement, the tenant must notify us in writing, giving a minimum of one months’ notice prior to the end of the period.

Should the tenant vacate the property prior to the end of the contracted period the tenant will be liable for all rent payments and utilities due until the end of the contracted period, or until we are able to find a replacement tenant. The tenant will also be liable for the landlord’s ‘reasonable’ re-letting fees for the new tenancy (see Tenant Fee Ban section).

Sharers

Each adult that moves into the property (eighteen years old and above) must be named on, and must sign on, the tenancy agreement.  It will be a breach of the agreement should anybody else move into the property during the tenancy without express written permission from the landlord. Should permission be granted, a new tenancy agreement will be drafted and must be signed by all adults.
