Q. We've got a complete group and we all want to sign the Tenancy Agreement.  What sort of tenancy is it?

A. It’s a Fixed Term tenancy for 12 months from the 1/01/2020 to 31/12/2020.  This is the most common sort of Tenancy Agreement for Student Accommodation. The agreement is a Joint and Several Tenancy Agreement. Tenants named on the tenancy agreement have shared responsibility for the entire tenancy. They can also be individually liable for the entire tenancy. This means that if one tenant causes damage to the property or gets behind in rent payments, all other tenants can be jointly or individually held responsible. They may have to pay the debt if the tenant who caused the damage or owes rent does not pay.
