Prepared for the new assured periodic tenancy regime
This is not a fixed-term Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement. From 1 May 2026, private rented assured tenancies in England became periodic. The tenancy continues from one rental period to the next until it is lawfully ended.
The furnished agreement records the commencement date, rental period, rent, deposit and responsibilities of the parties without inserting a fixed contractual expiry date. It also reflects the updated rules concerning rent increases, tenant notice, statutory possession grounds, pets, rent in advance, tenant fees and rental discrimination.
Designed specifically for a furnished letting
The agreement expressly covers furniture, furnishings, appliances, fixtures, fittings, equipment, white goods and other landlord-owned contents listed in the inventory. The inventory and condition schedule helps the parties record what has been provided and its condition at the start of the tenancy.
