For shared houses and HMO-style lets

This route is for England lets where communal areas, sharers, and house rules need to be expressed directly in the agreement instead of being left vague or bolted onto a generic residential product.

HMO / Shared House is now a separate product. It is no longer just another name for Premium.

What this route covers

  • Communal-area and house-rule wording
  • Sharer-specific agreement structure
  • Separate from Premium and Student
  • Guided setup with a preview before payment

How this lines up with the current England rules

  • Built around the current England route from 1 May 2026 for the main tenancy wording.
  • Captures the fact pattern for shared houses and HMO-style occupation directly in the wizard.
  • Keeps communal-house wording separate from ordinary residential Premium drafting.
  • Use Lodger instead where the landlord lives in the property and shares the home.

This route is usually right if

  • the real complexity is communal living, sharers, visitor policy, or HMO-style management
  • you want separate wording for communal areas, house rules, fire-safety notes, and shared-house cleaning arrangements
  • you want shared-house wording without pretending the product is just Premium residential drafting

Pick a different route if

  • the landlord is resident and the occupier is sharing the home as a lodger
  • the let is an ordinary whole-property residential tenancy and does not need communal-area controls
  • the real issue is a student-focused household with guarantors and end-of-term turnover rather than HMO management

England tenancy agreement FAQs

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

No. HMO / Shared House is now its own England product with its own routing and drafting, separate from Premium.
Not by default. Use Premium for fuller ordinary-residential drafting. Use the HMO / Shared House route where communal areas, sharers, or HMO-style setup are the real issue.
That is usually a Lodger / resident-landlord route rather than the HMO / Shared House tenancy path, so compare it against the Lodger product.

Choose the England agreement that fits the let

Use the HMO / Shared House route when the real complexity is communal sharers and shared-house management. Premium remains a separate ordinary residential product.
