Residential Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements

Create Your Bespoke Tenancy Agreement

An Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) is the most common form of rental agreement in the UK. It is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant that sets out the terms of the rental, including rent amounts, payment dates, and the responsibilities of both parties.

 

When is an AST used? An AST is appropriate for most private residential lets where:

  • The property is the tenant’s main home.

  • The landlord does not live in the same building (resident landlords typically use a Lodger Agreement instead).

  • The annual rent is between £250 and £100,000.

Using a bespoke agreement—rather than a generic template—ensures that your specific property requirements are protected, from pet policies to garden maintenance, while remaining fully compliant with the latest UK rental legislation.

General Information

To ensure your document is fully tailored to your specific let, we collect the following information:

 

  • Names of All Occupiers: To be legally robust, every adult living at the property must be named on the agreement. This ensures “Joint and Several Liability,” meaning all tenants are equally responsible for rent and damages.

  • The “Address for Service”: By law, tenants must be provided with a physical address in England or Wales where they can send legal notices to the landlord.

  • Utilities & Outgoings: We clarify exactly which party is responsible for Council Tax, water, gas, electricity, and broadband to prevent future disputes.

  • Prohibitions & Restrictions: Details regarding smoking, pets, or sub-letting. If you have specific “House Rules” or “Head Lease” requirements (common in flats/apartments), they are included here.

  • Inventory and Schedule of Condition – A reminder that while the AST is the legal framework, it should always be used in conjunction with a signed Inventory and Schedule of Condition (which we can reference in the contract)
