Compare the older wording without getting stuck in it

The useful next step now is to separate the definition question from the drafting question: understand the difference first, then move into the current England agreement route that matches the property.

These are the phrases landlords usually use when they are trying to find the right agreement for this kind of let. The important part is making sure the agreement matches the way the property is actually being occupied.
