Online Tenancy agreement

by Bear1

Hi,

I recently rented out my first apartment to a friend, although a friend I’m worried. Foolishly I didn’t make a tenancy agreement. I wonder if someone could give me a steer on a basic, simple tenancy agreement online, and what is the best way to confirm council tax etc is being paid...

Take a look at this one below. It's free. Phone the council or email them and ask if CT is being paid. Explain the situation. We don't recommend renting to friends and relatives on this site. Hope he/she signs the agreement.

It grieves me to hear again and again and again where tenants with huge arrears are evicted solely with s21, local council not informed of arrears...

Reply to First time landlord making mistakes

by jpkeates

I think you might be OK, there's only one building, even if it comprises 2 dwellings, and I think an EPC is for a building in this case.
Yes - you can't control any of a tenants utilities.

I think you need to think about how you plan to operate this part of the property long term....

The work on the property for the extension was complete in 2004 and an EPC was last done in 2013. (Just checked it online).

Would this apply to hot water too?

Yes jpkeates 'figs and troughs' and all that, but early 20th century usage developed it into having racist overtones and I guess how racist you feel it is may well depend upon the colour of your skin....
