About our tenancy agreements service:
Not every tenancy is the same, so why should every tenancy agreement be the same? One size does NOT fit all.
Using the wrong tenancy agreement type can cause confusion and may affect your legal rights.
Here at Landlord Law we have over 22 different tenancy agreement templates to suit the different types of tenancy which exist. Many of them are based on requests received from our members. And if none of these suit, we also have a bespoke tenancy agreement service.
** Jargon free** All our agreements are written in a plain English style, making it easier for you and your tenants to understand them (note - if your tenants are so confused by the jargon in your tenancy agreement - how can you expect them to do what it says?)
"I have used the Landlord Law website for around the past 6 years. I find the clear non jargon tenancy agreements very easy to use and my tenants also seem to like them due to their simplicity" Louise Solomon, Landlord
Our tenancy agreement service works as follows:
1. Follow the Which Tenancy Agreement Trail. You do not need to be a member to do this. The tenancy agreement trail will help guide you to the correct type of agreement for your situation.
2. Join Landlord Law (if you are not already a member). Membership starts at £20 per calendar month
3. Find the tenancy agreement type you wish to use in our tenancy agreements section and click the generate document icon.
4. Complete the form. This will tell our document generator software what information to insert into the tenancy agreement template. Instructions are given on the form.
There are also a number of fields where you can add extra information, for example if you want your tenant to pay rent by a non standard method, or want to add extra tenancy agreement clauses.
We also have a page with draft additional clauses for you to use. If the one you want is not there, Tessa will often draft one up especially for you, if you ask her in the members discussion forum.
5. Generate the the document. You do this by clicking the create tenancy button. The software will then create a tenancy agreement based on your instructions.
6. View the completed tenancy agreement in your 'My Documents' area. Here you can download the pdf or click a button to go back and edit your information if you find you have made a mistake. (Note that you can also re-use the same information to create a completely new agreement!)

"The tenancy agreements and notices are spot on". Christian Douthwaite, Landlord
The different types of tenancy agreement available include:
- the 'bog standard' AST - this is our most popular agreement
- Deposit Guard compliant agreements (Deposit Guard is the tenancy deposit scheme from the RLA / TDS where special clauses are required in the tenancy agreement). We also have special agreements for agents who use TDS.
- tenancy agreement for a room in a shared house - here tenants have an individual agreement for their own room and share facilities with the other tenants
- tenancy agreement where the landlord pays the bills - this was provided at the request of one of our members - it allows you to set out all the bills you will be paying so there is no misunderstanding
- resident landlord agreement - this is not an AST so a different form is needed
- combined tenancy agreement and guarantee (we have a separate guarantee deed as well)
- special agreements for student lets - these deal with the problems of dealing with the summer vacation and also the potential problem of students not moving out
- special pets agreements for lettings where the tenant is allowed to keep a pet - many pet owners make excellent tenants but find it hard to find accommodation. This agreement has special clauses to protect your position
- special TDS agreements for agents using the TDS tenancy deposit scheme, where special tenancy agreement clauses are required
- a company let agreement - this cannot be an AST so a special type of agreement is required
- renewal form - save paper by using this if the same tenants are staying on and you just need to renew the term and perhaps increase the rent
There are also versions of these for both weekly and monthly tenants, and some tenancies with a combination of the above.
I am so grateful to have found you and your website. It made me realise that the AST's and other documentation I'd had drawn up for my company were inadequate despite paying a considerable sum to get them done.
