Private Tenancy Agreement (NI)
Every Northern Irish landlord is required by the Private Tenancies Act (NI) 2022 to give every new tenant a written statement of the tenancy terms within 28 days of the tenancy starting. This agreement is that statement, structured around the statutory required contents, aligned with the Housing Executive's guidance, and pre-populated with the clauses a modern NI landlord actually needs (deposit protection, repair standards, notice requirements, joint and several liability, and the new five-year electrical safety duty). Serve this document as your written statement and your statutory compliance is done.
