Free contract templates for landlords

A properly drafted and sufficiently specific lease agreement is one of the most important matters to consider when letting a property. It protects both the landlord and tenant against potential risks and governs their contractual relationship. Do you know what it should look like? Our team of solicitors has prepared up-to-date contract templates for you to download free of charge.

Which template should a landlord use?

This page contains templates that a landlord needs throughout the entire tenancy, from signing the agreement to vacating the flat. You can obtain the templates free of charge on the pages for each document. Adapt them to the specific flat and agreement before use; we have verified the provisions referred to in our guidance against the wording of the Civil Code effective from 1. 1. 2026.

How to use the templates

  • Enter the details of the parties and the flat consistently in the agreement, handover protocol and amendments.
  • Always state rent and service charge advances separately.
  • Serve termination notices, formal notices and amendments in a verifiable manner, and retain proof of delivery.
  • In disputed cases, such as termination without a notice period, have the text reviewed by a solicitor.

If you do not want to deal with agreements, handovers or debt recovery yourself, compare letting through an estate agency, property management and guaranteed rent.
