If you searched using older wording

If you searched for an HMO tenancy agreement, shared house agreement, or sharers' tenancy agreement in England, this is the dedicated option for shared occupation from 1 May 2026 rather than a standard residential pack with shared-house points bolted on afterwards.

Choose this when the property is being shared

This pack is for England lets where the real work is managing shared occupation well. If several occupiers are sharing kitchens, bathrooms, entrances, bins, and day-to-day expectations, the paperwork should say that plainly from the start.

It is built for the friction points that usually show up first in shared houses: communal areas, visitors, quiet hours, cleaning expectations, repair reporting, handover records, and the practical rules that keep the house easier to run.

Choose this agreement if

  • the real complexity is shared occupation, communal living, or house management between sharers
  • you want clearer wording for communal areas, house rules, visitors, cleaning, and shared responsibilities
  • you need the paperwork to reflect a shared house rather than a simple whole-property household
  • you want one pack that covers the agreement, the rules, and the records you will actually use later
  • you want handover, utilities, and later changes kept in the same file from day one

Choose a different agreement if

  • the landlord lives at the property and the arrangement is really a lodger or resident-landlord room let
  • the let is a straightforward whole-property tenancy with no real need for communal-area or sharer wording
  • the main issue is a student household with guarantors, replacement requests, and end-of-term turnover rather than shared-house control itself

What this agreement covers

  • Agreement wording built around sharers and communal living
  • House rules and communal-area expectations kept clear from the outset
  • Separate from Standard, Premium, Student, and Lodger routes
  • Guided generator with a preview before payment

How this fits the current England rules

  • Built around the current England position from 1 May 2026 for the main tenancy wording.
  • Kept separate from the Standard and Premium assured periodic packs so shared-house occupation is not forced into an ordinary residential product.
  • Captures shared-house and HMO-style occupation more directly in the guided flow.
  • Keeps communal-living wording separate from ordinary residential drafting.
  • Includes practical supporting paperwork for shared-house setup, handover, and ongoing variation.
  • If the landlord lives in the property and shares the home with the occupier, compare the Lodger pack instead.

How it helps you
Gives the landlord a clearer room-let agreement for a shared-home arrangement.

Why shared houses need fuller paperwork

A shared-house let usually breaks down on the practical points first, not the headline rent clause. If the communal rules and records are missing, the paperwork often says much less than the landlord actually needs it to say.

Communal occupation needs written rules

If shared spaces, visitors, cleaning, bins, and quiet hours are left unwritten, the landlord has much less to point back to when the house starts drifting into conflict.

Shared houses create more everyday evidence points

Keys, handover, utilities, and later changes matter more because several occupiers are using the property at the same time.

Standard paperwork is often too broad for a shared house

If a communal let is documented like a simple whole-property tenancy, the paperwork often misses the rules that make shared living manageable in practice.

How this helps you

The pack helps the landlord set the tone earlier, keep the records together, and deal with shared-house issues with something better than informal messages and memory.

It makes the house rules visible

The appendix keeps the shared-living expectations visible instead of relying on informal messages or assumptions.

It keeps the practical records together

The handover, utilities, and variation documents help the landlord keep the communal paperwork in one place.

It matches the reality of shared occupation

The pack is built for sharers and communal areas, not for an ordinary household being squeezed into the wrong paperwork.

How it works

The workflow captures the shared-house details that need to be on the paperwork before the occupiers move in.

Step 01

Add the property and sharer details

Enter the key tenancy facts, the shared-house setup, and the way the property will be occupied.

Step 02

Answer the communal-living questions

Work through the rules, keys, utilities, deposit, and other shared-house points so the pack includes the right supporting paperwork.

Step 03

Generate the full HMO / Shared House pack

Download the agreement, the shared-house appendix, and the supporting paperwork as one England communal-living pack.

England tenancy agreement FAQs

Straight answers on which England agreement to use, what it includes, and how it fits the current rules.

Because shared houses often create issues that a general residential agreement does not deal with clearly enough. Where people are sharing kitchens, bathrooms, access, and day-to-day responsibilities, it helps to have wording that reflects communal living from the outset rather than leaving those points vague.
No. HMO / Shared House is now its own England product with its own drafting and positioning. Premium is for ordinary residential lets that need fuller operational wording; HMO / Shared House is for cases where sharers, communal areas, and house management are the real complexity.
Usually not. Use Premium when the property is still an ordinary residential let and you simply want more detailed wording. Use HMO / Shared House when shared living arrangements, communal rules, or HMO-style management are central to the setup.
Usually yes. This pack is intended for situations where people are sharing the property and the agreement needs to reflect that more clearly than a standard whole-property tenancy would.
Yes. One of the main reasons to use this pack is to deal more clearly with communal-living points such as shared areas, practical house rules, and how occupation works in a shared-house setting.
If the real complexity is still shared-house management, communal controls, and HMO-style occupation, this pack may still be the better fit. If the specialist issue is really student guarantors, replacement requests, and end-of-term turnover, compare it against the Student pack.
That is usually a Lodger or resident-landlord arrangement rather than an HMO / Shared House tenancy, so it is usually better to compare the Lodger product instead.
