Tenancy Information Notice

For any tenancy beginning on or after 1st April 2023, a landlord must provide a Tenancy Information Notice to the tenant within 28 days of granting the tenancy and it must be free of charge. The format of the tenancy information notice is set in law and a template notice is available from the Department for Communities.

Landlords must provide the same notice to tenants whose tenancies were granted between 30 June 2011 and 30 March 2023, unless they have already been provided with the same information.

If a tenancy term is varied (regardless of start date of tenancy) the landlord must within 28 days of date of tenancy being varied, give to the tenant a notice containing information relating to variation. It must be free and the format of the notice is set in law also.
