Updated for the 1 May 2026 law change: Renters' Rights Act 2025 now in force
PeriodicTenancy

Assured periodic tenancy · England

The tenancy agreement template that's actually legal in 2026

Section 21 is gone. Fixed terms are gone. Every assured shorthold tenancy in England converted to a periodic tenancy on 1 May 2026, and most templates online haven't caught up. PeriodicTenancy generates a Renters' Rights Act-compliant agreement customised to your tenancy.

Why old templates fail

Most free tenancy agreement templates are now legally out of date

On 1 May 2026 the Renters' Rights Act 2025 came into force in England. Assured shorthold tenancies were abolished, all tenancies became open-ended periodic tenancies, and Section 21 "no-fault" notices can no longer be served. A template that refers to a fixed term, an AST, or Section 21 describes a tenancy type that no longer exists, and using one creates avoidable disputes about what terms actually apply.

1.1 Abolished

No fixed terms

All new tenancies are monthly periodic. Clauses locking tenants in for 6 or 12 months are unenforceable.

1.2 Repealed

No Section 21

Possession now runs through the revised Section 8 grounds. Your agreement should reflect the new framework.

1.3 Mandatory

New landlord duties

Written tenancy information is now mandatory, with penalties for getting it wrong. Our pack includes it.
