Prescribed Information for New Tenants

Landlords in England need to comply with a wide range of legal requirements, both when entering into a new tenancy agreement and during the term. Failure to comply with the landlord’s obligations can have serious consequences, including in some cases the landlord being unable to terminate the tenancy using a Section 21 Notice.

The documents below provide templates to deal with some of the key requirements, ranging from information about what fees can and cannot be charged to a tenant, a letter to the tenant which can also be used as a prompt to ensure a tenant is provided with all mandatory information and prescribed forms for use for the provision of some mandatory information.

Please click on Tenancy Deposits for mandatory information to be supplied to tenants about deposits, General Health Safety Gas Electrical Compliance about gas and electrical safety and Fire Safety and Smoke Alarm Compliance about fire safety and smoke alarms.

These templates are suitable for use in England only.
