This Tenancy at Will allows a person to occupy premises on a flexible basis that either party can bring to an end at any time. It is commonly used as a short-term or holding arrangement, for example while a longer lease is negotiated, for landlords and occupiers of business premises in England and Wales.
Who is this template for?
It is designed for landlords and occupiers who need a flexible, no-fixed-term occupation arrangement, such as allowing early access before a lease completes or a short holdover. It is written for business premises, not for a residential letting, and deliberately avoids creating security of tenure. It is meant to be short-lived: if it runs on for a long time, a periodic tenancy may be implied, so the parties should move to a formal lease as soon as they can.
What does the template include?
The document is organised into numbered clauses and covers the key terms of a tenancy at will:
- Important Notice — what a tenancy at will is, and the warning that it should not be left running for long.
- Parties — the landlord and the occupier.
- The Premises — the premises being occupied.
- Nature of Occupation — the at-will basis of occupation.
- Period of Occupation — the flexible, terminable period.
- Licence Fee / Rent — any sum payable for use and occupation, which does not change the nature of the arrangement.
- Tenant’s Obligations — use and care of the premises.
- Utilities and Outgoings — responsibility for bills and outgoings.
- Termination — either party can end it at any time without formal notice, with an agreed courtesy notice period.
- Governing Law — England and Wales jurisdiction.
- Signatures — execution by both parties.
Easy to customise
The template works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Simply fill in the highlighted fields, tick the relevant checkboxes and edit any clauses to suit your arrangement. No special software is required.
