Annual Access

Not an Assured Tenancy

A company cannot be an assured tenant. Company lets are governed by common law, not the Housing Act 1988 or the Renters Rights Act. Different rules apply for possession, deposit protection, and notice periods.

Parties

Landlord: [Full name and address]
Tenant (Company): [Company name, registered number, and registered address]
Authorised occupant(s): [Name(s) of individual(s) who will occupy the property]
Property: [Full address]

Agreement Details

  • Start date: [Date]
  • Term: [Fixed term of X months / periodic]
  • Rent: £[amount] per calendar month
  • Payment due: [Day] of each month
  • Deposit: £[amount] — deposit protection schemes do not apply to company lets
  • Director guarantee: [Yes / No — if yes, attach guarantee deed]

Key Differences from Assured Tenancies

  • The Renters Rights Act does not apply
  • No statutory deposit protection requirement (though advisable)
  • No Section 8 or Section 21 procedure — possession by common law Notice to Quit
  • The company is liable for rent, not the individual occupant
  • A director's personal guarantee is often required
  • Right to Rent checks must still be carried out on individual occupants

Company Obligations

  • Pay rent on time and in full
  • Ensure the property is occupied only by the authorised occupant(s) named above
  • Keep the property in good condition
  • Report repairs promptly
  • Not sublet or allow additional occupants without written consent
  • Not make alterations without written consent
  • Allow access with 24 hours' notice
  • Not use the property for any purpose other than residential occupation by the authorised occupant(s)

Landlord Obligations

  • Maintain the structure and exterior in good repair
  • Keep gas, electricity, and water installations in working order
  • Provide valid safety certificates (Gas Safety, EICR, EPC)
  • Give 24 hours' written notice before entering the property

Ending the Tenancy

Either party may end this agreement by giving [1 month's / 2 months'] written notice, expiring at the end of a rental period. If the company fails to vacate after the notice period, the landlord may apply to the court for a possession order.

Director's Guarantee

[If applicable:] [Director's full name] of [address] personally guarantees the company's obligations under this agreement, including payment of rent and any damages. The guarantee is attached as a separate deed.
