three years. During this term the tenant has sole occupancy of all or part of the proposed property. As a
landlord you are entitled to recover possession only for the specific grounds laid down in the Housing Act

served to determine a tenancy.
Landlords can use this agreement when letting a furnished flat to one to four people on a term agreed
for up to three years. Included in this agreement are conditions setting out what tenants can and cannot
do. As with all agreements there are explanatory notes for your convenience.
Use this agreement when letting your furnished house. You will find a very comprehensive agreement,
written in plain English, which is designed to cover the landlord's interests. All standard provisions
are covered in this document including rent to be paid a month in advance, which can be changed to suit
you.
