Written Statement of Terms Template — Renters' Rights Act 2025
Avoid a £7,000 fine — provide this to tenants with no written agreement.
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 requires every assured tenancy to have a written record of its terms. If your tenant moved in under a verbal agreement, or the original agreement has been lost, you must provide a Written Statement of Terms.
Failure to comply: civil penalty of up to £7,000 for a first offence and up to £40,000 for a continuing breach.
