Hi,

I am a new landlord since last year. The first tenancy was arranged through a letting agent but it is coming to an end. I am looking to renew it with the same tenant. With regards to the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Contract, is there a particular template which is generally considered to be best from a landlords perspective/popular amongst landlords? Any other tips or things to look out for when renewing a tenancy would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
Auzz.

You don't have to set up a new tenancy, you can just let it run on to a periodic tenancy.This is  often preferred by experienced landlords,and does not affect the legal rights of landlord or tenant.

Read the terms of business (i.e. the contract) you have with the lettings agent. They'll probably charge you for renewing the tenancy (i.e. issuing a new contract) - but, as Heavykarma advises, if you do nothing, then it automatically becomes a (monthly) Statutory Periodic Tenancy, which continues to run on the same terms. The agent has no work to do and can't charge for this.
