Document background
A Temporary Tenancy Agreement is essential for creating legally compliant residential tenancies in England and Wales. This document is typically used for Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) under the Housing Act 1988, the most common form of residential tenancy. It provides security for both landlord and tenant by clearly defining the terms of occupation, financial obligations, and responsibilities of all parties. The agreement must comply with current legislation including the Tenant Fees Act 2019, Housing Act 2004, and various safety regulations. It's particularly important for protecting both parties' rights and ensuring clear understanding of obligations throughout the tenancy period.
