What is a Rental Contract Amendment?

The Rental Contract Amendment Template is designed for use under English and Welsh law when parties need to modify specific aspects of an existing tenancy agreement without creating an entirely new contract.

It ensures compliance with relevant legislation including the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Housing Act 1988, and Consumer Rights Act 2015, while maintaining the legal integrity of the original agreement. The template provides a structured approach to documenting these changes while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
