Deposit Guard compliant tenancy agreement and a new letting agent checklist for landlords

New Q and A are regularly loaded up to the site.

Deposit Guard compliant tenancy agreements 

As many of you will have seen in the news, a new tenancy deposit scheme has been launched by the Residential Landlords Association partnered with TDS. The scheme is cheaper than My Deposits, but the landlord will need to have special clauses in the tenancy agreement.

I am pleased to announce that we now have deposit guard compliant versions of my standard AST (the most popular one) and the rent a room agreement. I have also added a new tenancy version for both of these for use where a third party pays the deposit (and wants it returned to them at the end of the tenancy).

Questionnaire / checklist for landlords using letting agents

This is a handy list of questions to ask any letting agent you are thinking of using to manage your property, with space to jot down the answers. Questions kindly suggested by Sandra Savage-Fisher of QuaLETy Ltd.  FInd it >> here.

Featured content - new tenancy agreements

We have a huge number of tenancy agreement templates. It is one of the features of Landlord Law. For example there are versions for the let of the whole of a flat or house, for a room in a shared housse, for tenant who is being allowed to keep a pet, for a tenancy where the landlord pays the bills and so on.

I now need to add, for all of these variants, a Deposit Guard version! However I will not be adding them all at once.

If you are a member and there is a version of my tenancy agreements, or a particular combination of types that you would like, just ask and I will put one online for you. I can usually do this within 24 hours, sometimes sooner.
