SCHEDULE 1
TENANCY AGREEMENT
FOR A FURNISHED HOUSE OR FLAT FOR A HOLIDAY
DATE The date of the formation of the Contract;
PARTIES 1. THE Landlord means “HLL”;
2.
THE Tenant means “you”;
PROPERTY the Accommodation and the Fixtures, Furniture and Effects in the Property listed in the Inventory;
TERM the term of rental of the Accommodation as agreed in accordance with the Terms;
RENT as set out in the Terms;
PAYABLE in accordance with the Terms;
FIRST PAYMENT to be made in accordance with the Terms.
1.
THE Landlord lets the Property to the Tenant to use for a holiday for the Term at the Rent payable as set out above.
2.
THE Tenant agrees with the Landlord:
2.1
To pay the Rent as set out above.
2.2
Not to alter or add to the Property or do or allow anyone else to do anything on the Property which the Tenant might reasonably foresee would increase the risk of fire.
2.3
Not to do or allow anyone else to do anything on the Property which may be a nuisance to, or cause damage or annoyance to, the tenants or occupiers of any adjoining premises or which may adversely affect the energy efficiency rating or the environmental impact rating of the Property for the purposes of an energy performance certificate.
2.4
To use the Property and Fixtures, Furniture and Effects as a reasonable tenant would and to replace if necessary any items of the Fixtures, Furniture and Effects which have been damaged or destroyed by the Tenant, a member of the Tenant’s family or a guest of the Tenant or of the Tenant’s family.
2.5
Not to remove any of the Fixtures, Furniture and Effects from the Property and to leave the Furniture and Effects at the end of the tenancy where they were at the beginning.
2.6
Not to assign, sublet or part with possession of the Property in any way without the consent of the Landlord.
2.7
To use the Property as a private holiday residence only. This means the Tenant must not carry on any profession, trade or business at the Property or use it has a permanent residence and must not allow anyone else to do so.
2.8
To allow the Landlord or the Landlord’s agents to enter and view the Property with prospective tenants at reasonable times of the day if the Landlord has given 24 hours’ written notice beforehand.
2.9
At the end of the Term or earlier if the tenancy comes to an end more quickly to deliver the Property and the Fixtures, Furniture and Effects up to the Landlord in the condition they should be in if the Tenant has performed the Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement.
3.
IF the Tenant –
3.1
is at least seven days late in paying the Rent or any part of it, whether or not the Rent has been formally demanded; or
3.2
has broken any of the terms of this Agreement;
then, subject to any statutory provisions, the Landlord may recover possession of the Property and the tenancy will come to an end. Any other rights or remedies the Landlord may have will remain in force.
(Note: This clause does not affect any rights of the Tenant under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977. A tenancy the purpose of which is to give the Tenant the right to occupy property for a holiday is not an “assured tenancy” within the Housing Act 1988.)
4.
THE Landlord agrees with the Tenant –
4.1
That the Tenant has the right to possess and enjoy the Property during the tenancy without any interruption from the Landlord or any person claiming through or in trust for the Landlord. But:
4.1.1
this clause does not limit any of the rights under this Agreement which the Tenant has agreed to allow the Landlord to exercise;
4.1.2
this clause does not prevent the Landlord from taking lawful steps to enforce his rights against the Tenant if the Tenant breaks any of the terms of this Agreement.
4.2
To pay all reasonable charges in respect of the Property except those which by the terms of this Agreement the Tenant has expressly agreed to pay and to pay to the Tenant the amount of any such charge which another person has compelled the Tenant to pay.
5.
IF section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 applies to the tenancy, the Tenant’s obligations are subject to the effect of that section.
(Note: As a general rule, section 11 applies to residential tenancies for a term of less than seven years. It requires the landlord to keep in repair the structure and exterior of the dwelling house including drains, gutters and external pipes; and to keep in repair and proper working order the installations for the supply of water, gas and
electricity, for sanitation (including basins, sinks, baths and sanitary conveniences) and for space heating and heating water. The landlord is not obliged to repair until the tenant has given notice of the defect, and the tenant is obliged to take proper care of the Property and to do small jobs which a reasonable tenant would do.)
6.
IF the property is damaged to such an extent that the Tenant cannot live in it, the Rent will cease to be payable until the Property is rebuilt or repaired so that the Tenant can live there again unless:
6.1
the cause of the damage is something which the Tenant did or failed to do as a result of which the Landlord’s insurance policy relating to the Property has become void; and
6.2
the Landlord had given the Tenant notice of what the policy required.
Any dispute about whether this clause applies must be submitted to arbitration under Part 1 of the Arbitration Act 1996 if both parties agree to that in writing after the dispute has arisen.
7.
WHERE the context permits –
7.1
“The Landlord” includes the successors to the original landlord.
7.2
“The Tenant” includes the successors to the original tenant.
7.3
“The Property” includes any part of the Property or the Fixtures, Furniture and Effects.
8.
