Looking for a rental agreement template

MF2015

Does anyone have a link to a rental agreement template?

I have rented a house out privately and want to draw up a basic tenancy agreement. Nothing fancy but any help is appreciated.

the first time you realise you have "found" a free useless tenancy agreement is when you are in court trying to get a tenant out and the judge throws out your application for possession.... getting free stuff off for the net for such an important document is madness...

buy a good agreement.. it is the bedrock of your new BTL business... in fact why not join National Landlords Association - joining fee is tax deductible and you also get much cheaper insurance as a member (may well even save your joining fee in reduced premiums). They also have a great legal help line for when you come unstuck.... as you will.. we all do at some point

Thanks guys but I', not interested in joining any of the landlord clubs. All I'm looking for is a basic agreement, I have an honest tenant, that I have known personaly for about 10 years.

If it all goes pear shaped then no agreement would help, ''profesionaly'' drawn up, or not, it would still end up in court action with the law been the law.

Then what is the point of having an agreement at all?

An out of date tenancy agreement, from pre housing act 2004. Don't bother using it. (I also suspect it is posted there in breach of the RLA's copyright but they may have published it given that it is obsolete). Use the RLA's up to date version if you want to use an RLA agreement.

Ok. Presuemabley you want an agreement for a purpose. To ease evition is common; or specify who is responsible for which repairs.

If you will need *any legal recourse at all*, I would suggest taking the advice of the experienced landlords on this board and paying for it. It need not cost a lot.

This board is full of people whose friends and relatives and trustworthy friends have gone bad.

If it's worth doing, it's worth spending £50 - £200 on for proper advice from an association.

(I am not a landlord or a tenant. I've just been around this board a bit. No one ever thinks it will happen to them. And if you ask for advice, you should be open mnded enough to think about taking it especially when it is consistent.)

Thanks but I didn't ask for advice, I asked for a link to a free tenancy agreement.
