Article: Ordinary written residential tenancy agreements
can be bought "off the shelf" from various
sources - see Tenancy Agreements
So long as these agreements have been well
drafted they often suffice quite nicely for
residential tenancies.
Experienced landlords and
agents often like to include specific clauses of
their own, and may have them prepared by a solicitor.
An ordinary written agreement cannot be used for
a tenancy exceeding three years in length.
Tenancies for longer periods need a lease by
deed.
Anyone can draw up a tenancy agreement,
but a lease by deed requires a solicitor or
licensed conveyancer.
All residential agreements
should be proceeded by a comprehensive Tenancy
Application form which records all the tenant
details and most importantly identification
evidence.
Residential Agreements should
also be accompanied by a comprehensive inventory
and statement of condition.
The LandlordZONE Universal
Inventory also incorporates a safety checklist.
