The Year Lease Agreement is designed for use in England and Wales when establishing a fixed-term residential tenancy of exactly one year. This standardized contract ensures compliance with current housing legislation while protecting both landlord and tenant interests. It includes essential terms covering rent, deposit, maintenance obligations, and termination procedures, as well as incorporating recent legislative requirements such as deposit protection and permitted fees. The agreement is particularly suitable for private residential lettings and can be adapted for various property types while maintaining legal compliance.
