What the solicitor review found

From the clause-by-clause review of this agreement, published by Property Investor Today on 11 May 2026.

Any landlord who tries to let on a fixed-term basis after 1 May faces a civil penalty of up to £7,000. So this isn't a preference, it's the law.

The penalties are real, they're per tenancy, and they can be issued without a court hearing.

Q&A: Tenancy Agreements & Assured Contracts

Answers below follow the clause-by-clause review of this agreement with Emma Damiani, solicitor at Ackroyd Legal.

What is a tenancy agreement template, and why do I need one in the UK?
A tenancy agreement template is a preformatted contract setting out the terms of a let between a landlord and tenant. A written agreement protects both parties and records rent, deposit, repairs and notice terms. Since the Renters' Rights Act took effect on 1 May 2026, the agreement you need for a new let is an Assured Periodic Tenancy, not an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.
Is the Renters' Rights Act in force, and what changed for existing tenancies?
Yes. The Act took effect on 1 May 2026 and abolished fixed-term tenancies for all new and existing assured tenancies. Every tenancy is now periodic from day one and rolls month to month with no end date. Letting on a fixed-term basis after that date risks a civil penalty of up to £7,000.
How do I increase the rent on a periodic tenancy?
Only through a Section 13 notice on Form 4A. You must give at least two months' notice before the increase takes effect and can only raise rent once every 12 months. Contractual rent review clauses from older ASTs no longer have legal effect. A tenant can also apply to the First-tier Tribunal in the first six months if they believe the initial rent is above open market rate, and the Tribunal can reduce it but cannot raise it above what you agreed.
What notice must I give now Section 21 has gone?
You cannot end a tenancy without proving a specific Section 8 ground and obtaining a court order. Ground 1 (you or family moving in) and Ground 1A (sale) both need four months' notice. Ground 6 (redevelopment) needs four months and the tenancy must be at least six months old. Ground 8 (three or more months of arrears) needs four weeks. Tenants can leave at any time on two months' written notice, which may be given by email or text.
What is the 12-month protected period?
For the first 12 months of any tenancy you cannot rely on Ground 1 or Ground 1A, so the tenant has at least a year of security before you can move in or sell. If you take possession under Ground 1A and then re-let within 12 months instead of selling, that is a criminal offence and the tenant can pursue a Rent Repayment Order of up to two years' rent.
How much deposit and rent in advance can I take?
The deposit cap stays at five weeks' rent and must be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days. You cannot collect more than one month's rent in advance during the tenancy, and you cannot collect any rent at all before every party has signed. Any term requiring more than one month upfront is void.
Can I still refuse a tenant's request to keep a pet?
Only with clear written reasons. Under Section 16A of the Housing Act 1988, as amended, tenants have a statutory right to request a pet. You must respond in writing within 28 days and consent must not be unreasonably refused. You may require the tenant to hold insurance against pet damage. A blanket "no pets" policy is no longer defensible, so each request has to be judged on its merits.
How must I serve the Renters' Rights Act Information Sheet?
Give every named tenant the actual PDF, either printed or as an email attachment. Sending a link to the PDF is not valid service. Failure to comply carries a fine of up to £7,000, and if the breach continues more than 28 days after the penalty, further penalties of up to £40,000 may apply. The burden of proof sits with you, so keep a time-stamped acknowledgement of receipt rather than relying on a sent email.
Do I need to register on the PRS Database and join the Ombudsman scheme?
Both are legal obligations for private landlords in England. Registration on the Private Rented Sector Database is a pre-condition for serving a valid possession notice, apart from antisocial behaviour cases, and failure to register can bring fines of up to £7,000 rising to £40,000 for repeated breaches. Disputes must also go through the PRS Landlord Ombudsman before court proceedings can start.
Can I customise the agreement before I send it?
Yes. You can add terms such as pet insurance requirements or maintenance responsibilities, provided they comply with the Act. Terms that conflict with it, such as a contractual rent review clause or a requirement for several months' rent upfront, have no legal effect even if both parties sign.
Can I use a generic tenancy agreement generator for my HMO?
Not safely. Houses in Multiple Occupation need specific clauses on common areas, fair utility usage and mandatory safety requirements. Use the HMO room agreement rather than the standard periodic template.
Which safety documents must the tenant receive?
A valid EPC, Gas Safety Certificate and Electrical Installation Condition Report. The gas safety check must be done annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with the report given to the tenant before the tenancy starts and within 28 days of each later check. Electrical installations must be inspected every five years. The property must also be fit for human habitation throughout the tenancy under Section 9A of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
