AI Generated British Tenancy Renewal Agreement
PDF & Word - 2026 Updated

Review the entire Tenancy Renewal Agreement JSON for legal compliance with UK law, focusing on the Housing Act 1988 (as amended by the Housing Act 2004 and Deregulation Act 2015), Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Consumer Rights Act 2015, and related regulations for assured shorthold tenancies. Identify all missing required elements such as prescribed information on tenant rights, how to end the tenancy, rent review procedures, specific break clause details, inventory requirements, EPC/gas/electrical compliance statements, and any other statutory obligations. Propose specific additions or revisions to sections to ensure full compliance, including correcting inconsistencies like mismatched dates (e.g., original tenancy expiry, term start, rent effective date), incorrect party responsibilities (e.g., tenant maintaining insurance instead of landlord for buildings), unclear deposit protection details, and improper references to legislation. Output the proposed changes as a structured list of verbatim prompts that could be given to an AI to edit the JSON.

The current agreement lacks a dedicated section for an inventory and condition report, which is essential for deposit deductions under UK deposit protection schemes. Add a new section after Property Description that requires an inventory to be attached or referenced, confirms its accuracy, and states it will be used at the end of the tenancy to assess fair wear and tear. Ensure the prompt specifies integrating this without conflicting with existing deposit clauses.

Update the Rent section to correctly reference clause numbers from the Definitions (aligning with actual section numbers), remove redundant or repetitive subclauses about rent amount, frequency, and due dates, clarify that any rent increases must follow statutory procedures under the Housing Act 1988 (not arbitrary), and ensure the effective date for new rent is consistent with the renewal term start date. Provide this as a single verbatim AI prompt for JSON revision.

Revise the Deposit section to include mandatory prescribed information required by the Housing Act 2004, such as details on the tenancy deposit protection scheme (correcting to current schemes like DPS if applicable), how the deposit will be handled at the end of the tenancy, the tenant's rights to dispute deductions, and confirmation of the scheme's contact details. Also address the increase in deposit amount by specifying if it has been re-protected within required timelines. Output as one concise AI edit prompt.

Correct the Insurance section so that the Landlord is responsible for buildings insurance (as per standard UK law and the Landlord's Obligations section), while the Tenant handles contents insurance only. Remove incorrect details like specific policy numbers belonging to the tenant and add requirements for the landlord to provide proof of buildings insurance. Format this as a verbatim prompt to an AI model for updating the JSON.

Enhance the Tenant’s Obligations and Landlord’s Obligations sections to include all statutory duties under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, and Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015. Add specifics on smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical safety, and prohibit illegal activities. Ensure no obligations are placed on the tenant for structural repairs. Deliver this as a single AI prompt for precise JSON modifications.

Add a new section on Tenant Rights that includes prescribed information on how the tenant can end the tenancy, challenge rent increases, contact the landlord, dispute resolution via the property ombudsman or tribunal, and references to the government's 'How to Rent' guide (which must be provided). This is a legal requirement for assured shorthold tenancies in the UK. Phrase the response as a verbatim prompt suitable for input to an AI.

Fix inconsistencies across the document: align all dates so the original tenancy, expiry, renewal commencement, and rent changes are logical and consistent (e.g., renewal starting after the original expiry). Update the Recitals to properly incorporate the original tenancy terms by reference if intended. Also correct section numbering references in Definitions. Provide this as one AI prompt to revise the full JSON structure.
