tenacy agreements and keeping upto date with changes

Was wondering how we can best keep upto date with all the tenacy laws and regulations that are changed as they arent advertised anywhere.
Also is there a place that we can create a tenacy agreement either from a template or scratch

kind regards Mark

    Try googling for Landlord Forums.  Have a look and decide which one suits your needs best.  They tend to offer advice, information and templates, for a cost (which I believe is tax deductable). You can also google for information you need when something happens with a tenancy although this will be after the thing has happened obviously.  Joining a professional Landlord forum is a very good idea and could save you a lot of trouble and money.
  • The latest changes are compulsory electrical safety checks, and also stricter rules about fitness for human habitation!

    Or NLA.
    Both provide model tenancy agreements and other documentation. The gov also has a (rather long-winded) 'plain English' TA.

    5 new landlord/tenant regulations have been or are yet to be enabled in 2020. Google will tell you all about the new statutory changes.
    If you are comfortable with reading legislation, The Landlord and Tenant Act, which is always kept up-to-date by insertion of changes, is a definitive and comprehensive tool across the whole spectrum of this subject matter.

    As the government makes the changes and this is their official site, the changes would be up to date (however unsure if they put what is coming in the future).
