Tenancy agreement advice
Free tenancy agreement advice for tenants. The tenancy agreement is a contract between you and your landlord. The tenancy agreement gives certain rights to both you and your landlord but more importantly assigns certain responsibilities to you and your landlord. It’s extremely important you understand your obligations and your rights. We try to answer all your questions here.
You and your landlord make arrangements and agree certain terms about the tenancy. These terms and conditions will be part of the tenancy agreement. If there are any terms or conditions in the agreement that are in conflict with your basic legal rights, then those terms will be null and void, despite them being in the contract.
Basically, If a term in the tenancy agreement gives either you or your landlord less than your statutory rights that term cannot be enforced, so dont worry if they try it on ! Both you and your landlord have rights and responsibilities given by law.
The tenancy agreement cannot give you less than your statutory rights no matter what the landlord or any unscrupulous agent may imply or try and enforce upon you.
