Tenancy agreement
If required we can prepare the tenancy agreement for you and will usually create an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) which entitles the Landlord to seek possession of the property at the end of the fixed term. The tenancy agreement details the areas of responsibility between you, your tenant, and ourselves, as your agent. It confirms to all the parties who is liable for what in connection with the property. With all tenancies the minimum initial period is normally a six month let and the maximum we would advice at any one time is twelve months. Renewals can be any length of time if either the landlord or the tenant specifically so wish. In some cases the tenancy goes periodically with no fixed end date after the initial commitment. The signing of a tenancy agreement is not sufficient in itself to regain possession of your property and as a managing Agent we will prepare various Housing Act notices which must be served in the correct format and at the appropriate time. The execution of all documents both initially and on any renewals is part of the service we provide on your behalf, including signing such documents for you as Agent of the Landlord.
