The correct agreement depends on location
One UK selector, four different legal frameworks
“Tenancy agreement” is a useful general description, but the document name, legal framework and wizard questions change with the location of the rental property. Choose the property jurisdiction above before entering any case details.
England
For a straightforward private whole-property let, start with the Standard Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement route. New England assured tenancies no longer use an AST fixed term.
Wales
Choose a Fixed-Term or Periodic Standard Occupation Contract under the Welsh framework. The written-statement rules and terminology are different from England.
Scotland
Use a Private Residential Tenancy agreement for the open-ended Scottish PRT framework, rather than an England-style agreement.
Northern Ireland
Use the Northern Ireland Private Tenancy Agreement route, with its own jurisdiction-specific support documents and workflow.
The detailed comparison below is for England. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland currently offer one standard agreement route (with Wales split into fixed-term and periodic choices). Regional Premium products are not offered.
If you searched using older wording
Searching for an AST replacement, basic tenancy agreement or standard tenancy agreement for England? For a new straightforward whole-property let, this is the assured periodic route. It is not the right route for Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, a resident landlord, a shared house or a specialist student let.
England Standard Tenancy Agreement: clear, current paperwork for a straightforward let
Short answer: use this page when you need an England landlord tenancy agreement route that matches the occupiers, property setup, deposit position, guarantor details, and current rules before you start drafting.
Use this route when you are letting an ordinary whole property in England and want the agreement built around the landlord, occupiers, rent, deposit, guarantor and management details that actually apply to the let. It is a guided setup pack, not a static form to adapt alone.
The Standard pack keeps a simple let proportionate: the core assured periodic agreement, setup records, validation checks and a preview before payment. If you need more detailed management drafting, or the property is student-led, shared or within your own home, choose the specialist route instead.
Landlord Heaven is not selling a static wording-only form. It asks for the property, occupiers, rent, deposit, guarantor, and management facts, then builds a current England tenancy setup pack around those answers.
Choose this agreement if
- the tenancy is a straightforward whole-property let in England
- you want the standard agreement and core setup records, rather than the fuller Premium management schedule
- the tenants will occupy the property as an ordinary private residential home
- you want a clear, current agreement without specialist student, shared-house or resident-landlord wording
Choose a different agreement if
- you want fuller wording on inspections, repairs, key handling, contractor access and handover from the outset
- the main issue is student occupation, guarantors, or end-of-term student turnover
- the property is really a shared house / HMO or a room let in the landlord's home

Compare England agreement options
Use the comparison below if you are still checking whether this is the right agreement before you start generating the pack.
Standard Periodic Tenancy Agreement
£14.99- Best when
- The current England agreement for a straightforward whole-property let, with setup records, key clauses, and practical landlord wording.
- What it helps with
- Gives landlords a clean starting point when the let is ordinary and does not need student, shared-house, or resident-landlord wording.
- Common problem if you choose wrong
- If you choose a specialist option by mistake, the paperwork can become more complicated than it needs to be. If you use older wording, the core terms may be too light.
- How it helps you
- Gets the tenancy in place with a clear England agreement and practical setup paperwork.
Premium Tenancy Agreement
£24.99- Best when
- The fuller current England option for ordinary residential lets that need stronger management wording.
- What it helps with
- Helps when the landlord wants more detail around access, reporting, inspections, keys, repairs, and hand-back.
- Common problem if you choose wrong
- If a more involved let uses a lighter agreement, avoidable management arguments can start because expectations were not clear enough.
- How it helps you
- Gives the landlord a stronger written framework for day-to-day tenancy management.
Student Tenancy Agreement
£24.99- Best when
- The dedicated agreement for student households in England.
- What it helps with
- Deals with guarantors, sharers, replacement requests, and end-of-term move-out more directly than a generic agreement.
- Common problem if you choose wrong
- If a student household uses a generic let, key pressure points can be under-explained until something goes wrong.
- How it helps you
- Gives the landlord an agreement that matches how the student property is occupied and managed.
HMO / Shared House Tenancy Agreement
£34.99- Best when
- The shared-house agreement for occupiers living together and using communal areas.
- What it helps with
- Deals with house rules, communal spaces, sharer expectations, and shared living arrangements.
- Common problem if you choose wrong
- If a shared house is treated like a straightforward whole-property let, the paperwork can miss important shared-living rules.
- How it helps you
- Helps the landlord run a shared property with paperwork that fits the setup.
Lodger Agreement
£14.99- Best when
- The room-let agreement for a landlord who lives in the property.
- What it helps with
- Keeps the resident-landlord arrangement separate from a standard tenancy, with shared-home rules and notice expectations set out.
- Common problem if you choose wrong
- If a lodger setup is treated like a normal tenancy, the paperwork may not match shared occupation inside the landlord's home.
- How it helps you
- Gives the landlord a clearer room-let agreement for a shared-home arrangement.
Why a straightforward tenancy still needs a proper setup
A simple let does not need unnecessary legal jargon, but it does need the agreement, written information and day-one records to match the property and occupiers. This route helps you build a usable starting file around the facts you enter, rather than adapting older AST wording after the event.
The agreement should match the real let
Rent, occupiers, deposit, pets, access and responsibilities are easier to manage when they are set out consistently from the start. The wizard asks for these practical facts before the pack is generated.
Simple lets still need clean records
A deposit record, tenancy details and a clear inventory or handover trail are much easier to keep at the beginning than to reconstruct when a question arises later.
Older AST wording is no longer the right starting point
For new private assured tenancies in England, fixed-term AST wording is no longer the current framework. A clear assured periodic agreement is a better starting point for a new straightforward let.
How the Standard pack helps you start clearly
The aim is practical: a clean, current agreement for an ordinary England let, supporting records that follow your answers, and a chance to inspect the result before you pay. It is not a substitute for legal advice where the arrangement is unusual or disputed.
It keeps the agreement proportionate
The Standard route is designed for an ordinary whole-property let, so the agreement remains easier for you and the tenants to read and use.
It gives you one guided starting point
The wizard gathers the property, tenants, rent, deposit, guarantor and setup details in one flow, helping the documents feel joined-up rather than pieced together.
It helps you avoid the wrong product
If the let is student, shared-house, lodger or needs fuller management wording, the comparison cards point you to a more suitable route before you generate the wrong pack.
How it works
The steps are designed for landlords who want to set up a straightforward tenancy without drafting everything from scratch or guessing which fields matter.
Step 01
Add the property and tenancy details
Enter the landlord, tenant, property and rent details that drive the main agreement and supporting records.
Step 02
Answer the setup questions
Confirm the deposit, guarantor, pets, keys and other practical points so the pack reflects the way the let is actually being started.
Step 03
Create the full Standard pack
Review the generated pack before payment, then download the agreement and supporting paperwork together when you are happy with the details.
England tenancy agreement FAQs
Straight answers on which England agreement to use, what it includes, and how it fits the current rules.
Choose this option when the let is a straightforward whole-property tenancy in England and you do not need the more detailed management, inspection, handover, and operational drafting included in the Premium pack.
It is designed for the current England assured periodic position and for straightforward whole-property lets. It is not a replacement for legal advice on an unusual arrangement, a company let, a resident-landlord arrangement, social housing, or a dispute.
Usually, yes. If you are creating a new straightforward private whole-property tenancy in England, this is the standard assured periodic route. Use the comparison cards if the let is student-led, shared, involves a resident landlord, or needs fuller management wording.
The pack centres on the Standard Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement and includes the practical setup records shown in the sample viewer when they apply to the answers you give. You can inspect the sample and your own preview before payment.
Usually not. Student and HMO / Shared House lets now have their own England products, so this standard assured periodic option is best for ordinary residential lets that do not need specialist wording.
No. Courts do not pre-approve any notice, claim form, or agreement. This tenancy agreement follows current England rules and includes checks to help you complete it correctly.
A tenancy agreement can be legally binding when it is completed and agreed correctly. This guided pack helps you record the key terms, but you remain responsible for ensuring the facts are accurate and for taking advice where your arrangement is unusual or disputed.
For a tenancy created after 1 May 2026, landlords must give tenants certain written information about the key terms before signing the agreement or agreeing the tenancy. The wizard prompts for the relevant agreement information, but you should check that your completed pack and delivery process match your circumstances.
Usually no. Existing written assured or assured shorthold tenancies moved into the assured periodic system on 1 May 2026, but landlords had a separate obligation to provide the Government’s Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet 2026 by 31 May 2026. This Standard route is for setting up a new straightforward tenancy.
Build the validated Standard tenancy pack
Use this option when the let is straightforward and you want review-ready document preparation with validation checks instead of a wording-only form for an ordinary whole-property home in England.
