This tenancy agreement software has the flexibility to let you quickly create the tenancy agreement document you want. It does this by providing many options with appropriate defaults.
One common default is 'Do Not Specify'. This default means that the finished agreement will not have a clause dealing with that topic. The benefit of not specifying is that you get a shorter and simpler document; however, the document will be less precise.
If you want to fill in a particular item after you have printed the document, you can enter underscore characters (e.g. _____).

The Long Version of the Tenancy Agreement includes additional clauses and terms that will make your tenancy agreement more precise, able to deal with more situations and easier to enforce. The Short Version omits those terms that are not absolutely necessary to express your terms.

Termination
Q. How much notice do I need to give to terminate a tenancy? A. In most jurisdictions, there is a minimum period of notice required by statute. The lease can specify a notice period longer than the legal minimum, but it cannot specify a period shorter than the legal minimum. If it does, the legal minimum notice will still be required. You should consult the governing statute for these legal minimums as they will vary according to jurisdiction and the type and length of the lease.

Assignment, in Northern Ireland, is generally prohibited unless it was made under a court order as part of family law litigation or if you have a legal right to an exchange.

A relet levy is usually only used when the term of the lease is at least six months. Some jurisdictions do not permit the landlord to charge a relet levy. The amount of the relet levy must be reasonable given your particular circumstances (the damages that the Landlord will suffer if the Tenant leaves early).

Dates must be within the last 12 months
