A property management platform has launched a new suite of Assured Tenancy Agreement templates ahead of the Renters Rights Act.
COHO says the agreement templates are free to customers to download immediately and available in three forms – HMO single-room tenancies, HMO joint tenancies, and HMO single-let properties.
The forms are fully customisable, automatically complete themselves using data provided through the onboarding process, and can be saved as a reusable template.
The Act will abolish Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) in England requiring every agent to issue all new tenancies under a compliant Assured Tenancy Agreement before the Act comes into force.
Periodic from day one, the new agreement removes fixed terms and automatic end dates, introducing significant changes to tenancy structures, eviction grounds, and compliance obligations across the private rented sector.
A COHO spokesperson says: “As a platform supporting more than 6,000 HMOs and over 55,000 tenants nationwide, we developed the templates in house.
“Each one is based on real-world agency documentation and reviewed by a UK property solicitor to ensure alignment with the Renters Rights Act.”
Phase two will see COHO evolve the agreements into a fully dynamic system, where clauses are automatically generated based on property type, licensing conditions, and tenancy-specific settings such as pets, usage restrictions, and household composition.
COHO is also developing additional tools including room rate prompts that flag when a tenancy rent exceeds the advertised listing price; local market rent rate data for evidence to support rent rises; and new move-in payment safeguards warning landlords on rent requests ahead of tenancy agreements being signed.
