What is the Written Statement of Tenancy Terms?

The Written Statement is a personalised legal document required under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. It covers 18 categories of prescribed information — rent amount, deposit details, notice periods, repair obligations, and more. It is specific to your tenancy and must be provided to every tenant.

What is the deadline for providing the Written Statement?

For new tenancies, the Written Statement must be provided before the tenancy begins. For existing tenancies, it should be provided as soon as reasonably practicable.

What is the penalty for not providing a Written Statement?

Landlords who fail to provide a Written Statement of Tenancy Terms can face a civil penalty of up to £7,000 per breach, enforced by local housing authorities.

Is emailing the Written Statement legally sufficient?

Yes. Email delivery of the Written Statement satisfies the obligation under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. You do not need a physical copy or a tenant signature. The email delivery timestamp serves as your proof of compliance.

Can I see a sample Written Statement before I pay?

Yes. The last step of the form shows you a full preview of the document — with a watermark — before any payment is taken. Payment is only taken when you confirm and proceed to checkout.

Do I need my tenant to sign anything?

No. The legislation does not require a tenant signature. Once the document has been sent to the tenant's email address, the obligation is met.

Do you support joint tenancies?

Yes. You can add up to 6 tenants on a single submission. All tenants are named in the Written Statement and each receives their own copy by email. One payment of £9.99 covers the whole tenancy.
