Assured shorthold tenancy agreement

Landlords of a residential property in England can use this to create a fixed-term assured shorthold tenancy agreement. Specific clauses are included to cover gas, electrical and fire safety and building maintenance. It is suitable for both regular lettings and Houses in Multiple Occupancy (HMO). The document deals with a landlord's requirement to use a Government-authorised Tenancy Deposit Protection scheme.

It's not suitable if the total rent payable is £100,000 or more per year or you intend to grant a tenancy for a fixed term of 3 years or more.

Note that landlords will be in breach of the law if they grant a new tenancy or renew or extend an existing tenancy, for a property that has an energy performance certificate rating of below E.
