Landlord forms, documents, agreements, letters and notices

Welcome to the Landlord Knowledge document download centre

Here you will find a selection of forms, notices and other documents commonly needed during the course of tenancies. All are entirely free to download and use.

Other than prescribed forms, and legal forms in required format, letters and forms are generally suggestions and are available in Word format so that they can be edited and personalised to meet your particular circumstances. We advise you to read each document carefully before use to make sure it is appropriate to your needs.

Many landlords choose to complete legal documents and notices themselves. However, utmost care is needed since the slightest mistake can lead to significant delays. Our advice to inexperienced landlords, those faced with unusual or complicated circumstances, or those unsure about any aspects of what is required, is always to seek professional advice.

This is a mixed legacy library. Legal form rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so use the rules for the property location.

Last updated: 13 September 2026 | Applies to: landlords using forms for property in England, subject to each form’s stated scope. General information only; prescribed forms must be used in their current official version without unauthorised wording changes.

Important update for England: The Renters’ Rights Act changed the tenancy system in England, including the end of Section 21 for ordinary private rentals. Use current GOV.UK Form 3A for private-rental possession and Form 4A for private-rental rent increases. Do not use the social-housing forms below for an ordinary private rental in England.

Form 4A / landlord rent increase notice

Links listed below include general advice on a number of issues. Unfortunately, we are unable to give individual help in completing forms and notices, although questions on issues of substance can be posted on our Landlords forum where they are likely to be responded to by other landlords.
