Checklists, Application Form, Holding Deposit and Heads of Terms
Residential landlords in England need to gather detailed information about prospective tenants in order to decide whether to proceed with the grant of a tenancy. Having robust procedures and paperwork in place at an early stage will help landlords with the decision-making process.
The documents below include a Landlord's Checklist for New Tenancies to enable a step-by step approach and details mandatory tenant information and checks which need to be carried out, as well as the information which must be provided to tenants on the grant of a new tenancy.
The Heads of Terms template enables the landlord and tenant to agree the main details and the Application Form seeks to capture all the information a landlord needs in order to carry out credit checks and obtain references. The Right to Rent Checklist helps the landlord navigate the “right to rent” checks process .
Where a tenant pays a holding deposit prior to entering a new tenancy, The Holding Deposit Agreement incorporates the rules introduced by the Tenant Fees Act 2019 in respect of how a holding deposit should be dealt with.
These templates are suitable for use in England only.
A selection of template letters requesting references can be found in the Tenant Referencing subfolder.
