Tenancy agreement
Once prospective Tenants have been accepted, an Assured Periodic Tenancy agreement will be prepared. This form of tenancy originates from the Housing Act 1988, as amended by the Housing Act 1996 and further updated by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.
Under an Assured Periodic Tenancy, the agreement runs on a rolling basis rather than for a fixed term. Either party may end the tenancy by giving the appropriate notice in accordance with current legislation. The Landlord may seek possession by serving the required notice, while the Tenant may terminate the tenancy by providing at least two month’s notice in line with their tenancy dates.
The tenancy will continue indefinitely unless and until valid notice is served by either party. There is no requirement for renewal.
The Landlord remains responsible for maintaining buildings insurance for the property and must ensure that any mortgage or financing arrangements permit letting. It is also recommended that the Landlord insures any provided contents, such as carpets, curtains, and appliances. The Tenant is responsible for insuring their own personal belongings.
From the start date of the tenancy, the Tenant is responsible for all utility charges relating to the property, including Council Tax. The managing agent will notify the relevant utility providers of the change of occupancy and arrange for accounts to be transferred into the Tenant’s name. Meter readings will be recorded and provided to the relevant suppliers at the commencement of the tenancy.
