Most free tenancy agreement templates are now legally out of date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.
No fixed terms
All new tenancies are monthly periodic. Clauses locking tenants in for 6 or 12 months are unenforceable.
No Section 21
Possession now runs through the revised Section 8 grounds. Your agreement should reflect the new framework.
New landlord duties
Written tenancy information is now mandatory, with penalties for getting it wrong. Our pack includes it.
