Private tenant advice

Tenancy agreements

You should always have a written tenancy agreement.

There are different types of tenancy agreements. You can find out more about them on Shelter's website.

Signing a tenancy agreement

Your landlord should give you a written tenancy agreement. The contents of a written agreement can affect your rights as a tenant.

Always get advice:

  • before you sign any tenancy agreement
  • if you think your tenancy agreement contains anything unfair

Contact us if you don’t have a written tenancy agreement.
