Each person named on the tenancy agreement needs to sign the agreement and all tenants must be over 18 years old. If someone under the age of 18 is occupying the property they can be named as an occupier but not legally sign the agreement.
Having a clearly drafted tenancy agreement that matches the type of tenancy granted is the best way of ensuring both parties understand these obligations. The NRLA has produced a number of tenancy agreements for you to either use, or use as guidance for creating your own.
For example, a tenant and landlord may agree to a five-year lease with a five-year option to renew. At the end of the first five years, the tenant is given the chance to continue the lease for another five years. If you think you may renew, be sure to bring up extension provisions with your landlord.
You have the 'right to unwind' a tenancy agreement if you signed it because of misleading information given by the landlord or agent. Not mentioning something does not count as misleading information although this could still be an unfair trading practice.
If a term in the tenancy agreement gives either you or your landlord less than your statutory rights, that term cannot be enforced. A tenancy agreement can be made up of: express terms - these include what is in the written tenancy agreement (if there is one), in the rent book, and what was agreed verbally.
Can I write my own tenancy agreement? You don't necessarily need a solicitor to produce a legal document like a tenancy agreement. You can do it yourself, just make sure to include all the relevant information. Ensure it is up to date with the law and in particular does not contain any illegal clauses.
Generally 48 months is the ``sweet spot'' for leasing, but if you want a newer car - sooner - then go for the 36 month lease instead.
