Basically, a Tenancy Agreement is a contract that serves as an Assured Shorthold Tenancy between a Tenant and a Landlord, with all stipulated terms and conditions about their rental agreement.

There is no need to get a written Tenancy Agreement as long as fixed period tenancy is more than 3 years; in which case it can become Oral Tenancy Agreement. It is, however, strongly recommended that there should be a written agreement so that all terms and conditions can be clarified and used as a proof in case of any dispute.

There are many forms of Tenancy Agreements available, and all of them should consist of following aspects:

• Dates: The exact date when was agreement was prepared
• Landlord Details: It contains all the address and other details about the landlords.
• Tenant Details: It contains all the address and other details about the Tenant(s).
