6 Month Tenancy Agreement Template
A six-month AST is no longer the default agreement for a new England tenancy. Use this guide to understand the change and choose a current Standard or Premium agreement.
If you searched using older wording
Many landlords still recognise the six-month AST format. For a new England tenancy, use current wording designed for the assured periodic framework instead.

From a six-month AST to the current England agreement
Short answer: choose the agreement by property location and how the home will be occupied. From there, compare the Standard, Premium, Student, HMO / Shared House and Lodger options, or choose the separate agreement for Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
If you were expecting a six-month tenancy agreement, start by checking how the current England framework changes the agreement you should create.
From 1 May 2026 new England agreements generally move into the assured periodic model, so Landlord Heaven now guides landlords into current Standard or Premium routes instead of selling a new 6-month AST in the old sense.
