What is a Tenancy Agreement?
A Tenancy Agreement is a contract between a landlord and a private tenant to rent out property to the tenant. Residential Tenancy Agreements are used to rent out residential property. Commercial Tenancy Agreements are used to rent out commercial property.
Tenants are also known as ‘contract holders’ in Wales. For the avoidance of doubt, references to ‘tenants’ also apply to ‘contract holders’ unless otherwise specified.
