Pre Tenancy Agreement

"I need a Pre Tenancy Agreement for a 2-bedroom flat in London, where the prospective tenant requires a guarantor and we need to include specific clauses about proof of employment as they are relocating from overseas in March 2025."

Document background
The Pre Tenancy Agreement serves as an essential preliminary contract in residential lettings across England and Wales. It is typically used when a prospective tenant expresses serious interest in renting a property and both parties wish to formalize their commitments before proceeding to a full tenancy agreement. This document outlines key aspects such as holding deposits, reference requirements, proposed rental terms, and timeframes for completion. It provides legal protection for both parties during the pre-tenancy phase and ensures compliance with current housing legislation while setting clear expectations for the formal tenancy process.
