Hi All,

    Google 'free AST'.

    Better still, join a landlord's association. Worth every penny not just for the AST and other documents. and it's tax-deductable. RLA or NLA or find a local one that's affiliated to the RLA.

    Another vote for joining a landlords association, no doubt it will save you a fortune in schoolboy errors.

    pixelpup - other posters have previously signed up to plug away on behalf of this particular site. As I've posted before the free AST that they (you?) offer on there has a number of clauses within it that just won't stand up.

    • Windows to be cleaned every two months?
    • Tenant to give 2 months notice to be able to leave at the end of the fixed term?
    • Implying that the Ts right to QE applies only if T keeping to all tenancy obligations and paying the rent?
    • Court action for repossession within the Term if a T becomes bankrupt?
    • The T to " keep cleansed and free from obstruction all gutters, down pipes, drains, sanitary apparatus, water and waste pipes"?
    • The T to be responsible for keeping the window sash cords in good repair?

    Yes, a "free " AST is always useful (not)

    Bit of a give away when the original OP posted over two and a half years ago.......nothing like a bit of forum gravedigging and a spot of self promotion is there

    OP - since you dont even know the correct name for what you are looking for - i stronly suggest you join National Landlords Association and get it right...

    you CANNOT become a landlord on the cheap and get it right...

    the first time you will know that yoru tenancyh agreement is rubbish is when a Judge throws out yoru court case when you are trying to get eh tenant from hell out of yoru property//

    Tenancy Agreements can be 1/2 page long of 100 pages long.. there is NO standard agreement - get one from a good source such as landlords association

    i assume you are not an indigenous Brit - if that is the case you need all the help you can get as there are over 100 Laws and REgulations controlling landlords and tenants affairs.....
