Tenancy Agreement AST
The Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST) sometimes simply known as a Tenancy Agreement is the cornerstone of all ‘buy to let’ documentation. It grants a tenant the right to live in a domestic property for a fixed period of time (normally six months or a year) after which the tenancy will continue on a one month ‘rolling basis’ until notice to quit is served by either party. This document memorializes the agreement in writing and sets forth many important terms including the rental amount, the rental period, the rights and obligations of the landlord and the tenant.
The tenants must be individual people. This agreement must not be used where the tenants are companies or a partnership.
Among others, this agreement includes the following provisions:
- The amount of rent and deposit payable and the term of the tenancy
- Landlord\'s obligation to insure the property and keep wind and water-tight
- Right of landlord to charge interest on late rent payments
- Tenant\'s obligation to pay bills and council tax
- Tenant\'s obligation to keep the property and any garden in good order and repair
- To use the property for residential purposes only
- Not to cause nuisance or annoyance to others
- Not to keep pets without written permission
- The Prescribed Information about the tenancy deposit scheme.
This Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement has been created by UK lawyers for use in England and Wales.
