Product description

This “Download Now” Tenancy Agreement for a Room will take away the difficulty of creating a house share agreement/flat share agreement (with a non-resident landlord) in England.

If you want to rent out a room in a furnished house or flat shared with other tenants, our house share agreement/flat share agreement is all you need to put it in writing.
This updated tenancy agreement for a room comes in two versions, according to where the rental property is located:

A tenancy agreement template form for creating an Assured Periodic Tenancy for property in England
A tenancy agreement template form for creating a Private Residential Tenancy for property in Scotland.

Each house share agreement/flat share agreement is for use where the tenant is living in a room in a property where you, as landlord, are not resident.
Under this house share agreement, the tenant has exclusive occupation of his/her designated room and will share the use and facilities of the house or flat (e.g. bathroom, toilet, kitchen and sitting room) with other occupiers of the furnished property.
Each flat share tenancy agreement form can be given to the tenant(s) at the start of the tenancy so that you have a written record of the tenant's obligations, how the tenant’s deposit money is to be handled and how the tenancy agreement can be ended.
Each tenancy agreement for a room download sets out the obligations of the landlord and the tenant(s), and comes with expert guidance notes showing clearly how to complete the form and create a legally-binding tenancy agreement.

Your “Download Now” Tenancy Agreement for a Room will cover all the important issues, including:

Details of the rent amount and frequency of rent payments.
Deposit amount.
Tenant's obligation to keep the property in good condition.
Tenant's obligation to pay service bills and council tax.
Tenant's obligation to not keep pets.
Landlord's obligation to keep the property in repair.
Landlord's obligation to insure the property.

How to complete this Tenancy Agreement for renting out a Room

Have both copies signed by you and your tenant.
Give one signed copy to your tenant.

Legal Notes for England

If the total amount of rent exceeds £100,000 per annum, an Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement cannot be created and this house share agreement/flat share agreement is not appropriate. If you wish to create a tenancy agreement whose rent will exceed £100,000 per annum, you can use our Contractual Tenancy Agreement (Non-Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement).
In general, if the tenant currently occupies the property under a protected or statutory tenancy and they give it up to take a new tenancy of the same or other accommodation owned by you as landlord, that tenancy cannot be an Assured Periodic Tenancy and this house share agreement/flat share agreement is not appropriate.
If the tenant currently occupies the property under an Assured Tenancy which is not an Assured Periodic Tenancy, you, as landlord, are not permitted to grant the tenant an Assured Periodic Tenancy of this property or of alternative property and this house share agreement/flat share agreement is not appropriate.
