Joint tenancy schedule
Record every joint tenant, their rent share and a service address in one signed schedule.
Tenancy agreements · Updated 2 August 2026
Overview
Where two or more people rent a property together under one agreement, they are jointly and severally liable for the whole rent. A short schedule makes the arrangement, and how you will contact each person, unambiguous.
Why it matters
Notices served on only one joint tenant are a common reason possession claims fail. A schedule gives you an address and contact route for every named person.
Legal requirements
- Every adult occupier who is a tenant must be named on the agreement.
- Joint and several liability should be stated in plain English so tenants understand it.
- Keep a service address for each tenant, updated if it changes.
Common mistakes
- Adding a partner informally without amending the agreement.
- Splitting the deposit protection across tenants rather than protecting the full sum once.
- Assuming one tenant can end the tenancy for everyone without consequences for the others.
Practical guidance
- Re-issue the schedule whenever a tenant is added or replaced.
- Keep it with the signed agreement, not in a separate email thread.
