Document background
A Lease Agreement For Renting A Room is essential when letting out individual rooms within a property under English and Welsh law. This document is particularly relevant for house shares, student accommodation, and professional lodging arrangements. It should be used whenever a landlord wishes to create a formal tenancy for a single room while maintaining clarity about shared spaces and facilities. The agreement ensures compliance with current housing legislation, including the Housing Act 1988, Tenant Fees Act 2019, and deposit protection requirements. It provides clear terms for both parties regarding rent, deposits, maintenance, access rights, and house rules while addressing the specific challenges of shared living arrangements.
