Drafting Tenancy Agreements
Legal Advice for Tenants
A tenancy agreement protects your rights and defines your responsibilities as a tenant. Many tenants enter into agreements without fully understanding the terms or realising when key protections are absent. Whether you are entering a new tenancy or want to check if your current agreement is fair and enforceable, we can help.
A tenancy agreement protects your rights and defines your responsibilities as a tenant. But many renters sign contracts without fully understanding the terms — or without knowing what is missing. Whether you are entering a new tenancy or want to check if your current agreement is fair and enforceable, we can help.At Rashid Solicitors, we act for tenants in housing disrepair matters across England and Wales. We explain your rights, assess whether your case is eligible for compensation, and support you through the process of enforcing repairs or making a legal claim.
At Rashid Solicitors, we review, explain, and help tenants negotiate tenancy agreements. We make sure you understand what you are agreeing to, what risks to look out for, and what rights you may be giving up. If needed, we can also help you draft a new agreement with your landlord.
Why legal advice matters
Tenancy agreements may contain clauses that
- Limit your right to notice or repairs
- Make you responsible for more than the law allows
- Restrict who can live with you
- Fail to mention deposit protection or rent review terms
- Conflict with current housing law
Getting advice early can prevent disputes later.
