What type of tenancy agreement is used and how binding is it?
In most cases an ‘Assured Shorthold Tenancy’ agreement written by ARLA (Association of Residential Lettings Agents) is used, which is protected by The Housing Act 1988. The tenancy agreement governs all rent payments and is a legal and binding document. As a tenant you are committed to paying rent until the end of the agreed term and could face legal action if you break the terms of the agreement. If your circumstances change for any reason during your tenancy, it is important that you inform Domans Residential as soon as possible.
