View →The template you need
Find the contract, notice, or supporting document you need to let residential property in England and Wales. Each page explains what the document does, when you need it, what a quality template looks like, and where to get one — all updated for the Renters' Rights Act 2025, in force since 1 May 2026.
Where we recommend a template, fulfilment is provided by our affiliate partner Net Lawman and the recommendation is clearly disclosed — see our affiliate policy for how this works. Templates are generic legal documents, not advice on your specific situation, and Tenancy Agreement Service is not a law firm. For unusual, contentious, or high-value lets, a practising solicitor's input is often justified.
To understand the law these documents sit within, our Renters' Rights Act 2025 guide covers the framework in full.
