The biggest change to UK rentingin 40 years.
We've got the paperwork ready.
On 1 May 2026 England's Assured Shorthold Tenancy disappears. LetSafe UK ships the replacement tenancy, Section 8 pack, transition wizard and compliance checklist — all reviewed against the new regime, for every UK nation.
Where do you let?
Tenancy law is completely different across the four UK nations. Pick yours — we'll show only the templates that apply.
Why LetSafe
Built for the next decade of UK renting
Most landlord template sites still sell 2018-era paperwork. We don't. Every document carries a regulation-current footer, and we ship the tools other sites don't have.
Regulation-current, dated footers
Every template says exactly which Act and SI it was reviewed against, and when. No mystery-meat Word docs from 2019.
Interactive Section 8 Ground Picker
Tell us what's happened — we tell you which ground applies, the notice period, and what to serve. No legal jargon.
Try the wizardSection 13 Rent-Review Calculator
Instantly see if a proposed rent hike is defensible against the 12-month cap and tribunal market-comparison test.

How LetSafe compares
Cheaper than a law firm. Safer than a free download.
We're not trying to replace a solicitor for disputes. We're replacing the £400 retainer you didn't want to pay for a tenancy agreement that a paralegal filled in from a template anyway.

Landlord reviews
Bought once, quoted back at us happily
Real, dated feedback from paying landlords. The only moderation is surname redaction on request.
“I paid a letting agent £240 a year for tenancy paperwork that was already out of date before I signed it. LetSafe rebuilt my whole pack, against the new Act, for less than one month of that.”
“Had a mortgage change force me to let out the family home. Wasn't going to pay a law firm £700 for a tenancy. The Starter Pack + the free Ground Picker made me feel less of an idiot about the whole thing.”
“The Welsh market had been crying out for someone to actually understand occupation contracts rather than just stapling 'Wales' onto an English AST. LetSafe has done it properly.”
One purchase. Keep forever.
Pay once and download whenever you need it. We'll email you when the regulation behind your template is updated — free, no subscription.
Don't get caught by a rule change.
Every time a new commencement regulation, statutory instrument or Tribunal decision affects a template we sell, we send a short plain-English email. One or two a month, never more.
We use your email to send regulatory alerts and order-related comms only. See our privacy notice.
FAQ
The questions we get most
01Is LetSafe UK a firm of solicitors?+
No. We sell self-help templates to private landlords. We are not a firm of solicitors, not a letting agent, and not an insurance provider. Template preparation is not a reserved legal activity under the Legal Services Act 2007.
02What happens on 1 May 2026?+
Phase 1 of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 commences in England. Assured Shorthold Tenancies (including Section 21) are abolished and replaced by periodic Assured Tenancies. Every English AST in existence on 30 April converts automatically at midnight. Our Transition Pack (LS-E-130) walks you through exactly what this means for you.
03Will my old template still be valid after 1 May 2026?+
In England, a new tenancy granted on or after 1 May 2026 must comply with the new regime. Existing ASTs continue under the Act's transitional provisions but with the new notice rules applied. We recommend updating any tenancy-agreement templates to the LS-E-001 Periodic Assured Tenancy Agreement for new grants from May onward.
04Do you ship templates for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?+
Yes. Each jurisdiction has its own catalogue because the law is materially different. Use the chooser in the header to switch. Our cross-jurisdiction Four Nations Landlord Bundle (LS-U-200) bundles the starter pack for all four regimes at one price.
05How do updates work?+
Buy once, download forever. If we revise a template in response to a regulation change (for example, a new SI amending the prescribed tenancy clauses), your account picks up the revised file automatically. You'll get an email when we push a material update.
