Overview

A tenancy agreement is a contract between you and your tenants. It sets out the legal terms and conditions of the tenancy. It can be written down or oral.

A tenancy can either be:

  • fixed-term (running for a set period of time)
  • periodic (running on a week-by-week or month-by-month basis)

Rights and responsibilities

Both you and your tenants have certain rights and responsibilities, whether or not there is a tenancy agreement.
