What is a written statement of contract?
A written statement of contract is the documentation that evidences the contract between the landlord and the tenant. In England this would be an AST or Assured Shorthold Tenancy. In Wales this would be an Occupation contract.
How do I get an AST or an Occupation contract?
The NRLA has worked to produce comprehensive documents to our members and we would always recommend our members use NRLA approved documents for their tenancies.
