About this document
Use this agreement as “standard terms” and present them to a property vendor as “the contract” between you and him as to how you will rent or let out the property.
It is suitable for an estate agent, a property owner or landlord who wants to gain the upper hand by presenting the terms first. As drawn, the document provides for the introduction of the prospective client by the agent, and the rental to the client. The agent is not responsible for making preliminary checks on the tenant, nor for dealing with ongoing management such as making repairs, nor for rent collection. If you require a document that does deal with these issues, please see the link at the end of this page.
We also stock a terms and conditions agreement for property sales. Links are Right of this page.

Easy to use, even if you have no legal knowledge
Many of our customers are lawyers, but our documents don't require you to be one. Wherever it may be needed, our guidance notes explain the purpose of each paragraph, whether we recommend changing it, and what you might like to consider before you do so.
Our view is that, when editing our documents, you shouldn't have to worry about how to add legal wording. So our documents consider a far greater range of issues than our average customer will need, and because we avoid cross referencing paragraphs, we make it easy for you simply to delete what you don't need without affecting the rest of the document.
