How a tenancy agreement actually works now
Four steps — starting from a document that’s actually up to date
The hard part isn’t filling in a form — it’s that the format changed. In England, the Renters’ Rights Act rewrote how tenancies work from 1 May 2026. Most templates online haven’t caught up. GitLaw starts you from one that has.
Example first page of a tenancy agreement for 14 Alder Road, Manchester M20 3AB, prepared 15 September 2026. This is a sample — your own agreement is generated from your details.
Letting in England comes with obligations beyond the agreement itself. GitLaw gives you a plain-language checklist to work through — for example: protecting the deposit and serving the prescribed information; giving a current gas safety certificate and an EICR; providing an Energy Performance Certificate; fitting smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms; and carrying out right-to-rent checks. These are pointers, not legal advice, and rules differ in Wales and Scotland. Check the current requirements for your property before you let.
The tenancy “templates” online are mostly out of date
On 1 May 2026 the Renters’ Rights Act changed how tenancies work in England — no more Section 21, no more fixed terms, assured periodic tenancies instead. A lot of the free templates still floating around are for the old format, which no longer applies in England.

Tenancy agreements — your questions answered
In England, yes. When the main provisions took effect on 1 May 2026, existing assured shorthold tenancies were automatically converted to assured periodic tenancies — you don’t sign a new agreement. Landlords do need to give existing tenants the government’s information about the changes. This applies to England; Wales and Scotland have separate systems. This is general information, not legal advice.
