Every country has its own set of rules and regulation for tenancy. In Wales and England there are a different set of rules that are applicable for tenancy agreements. A large number of tenants in Wales and England do not have written tenancy agreements. At the same time housing societies and local authorities are required to furnish valid written tenancy agreements to its tenants. Also it has been made very clear that the format of the tenancy agreement should be such that the contents are easily readable and can be used for any legal work related to the tenancy.
It is also clearly stated that for any tenant who is visually impaired or any other handicap then the tenancy agreement should be written in a manner that helps the tenant read the agreement. People usually have problems getting hold of a legal document which define the minimum required contents to make a shorthold tenancy agreement a legal document. So if you happen to be one of those who needs to have a legal format or sample of a shorthold tenancy agreement then you can find them from a housing section, you can meet up with a legal advisor who might have tenancy agreement samples or you can also speak to a real estate agent as they would surely have such legal documents.
For a written tenancy agreement to be a legal document it is necessary that both the landlord and the tenant sign on the agreement. If there happen to be more than one tenant occupying the same property then each of the tenants are required to be party to the shorthold tenancy agreement. For the benefit of each tenant it is good to have a separate copy of the tenancy agreement.
A shorthold tenancy agreement is always good to have, some people go for an oral shorthold tenancy agreement but people in general always prefer to have a written shorthold tenancy agreement.
