n4m7 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi, I recently had a tenant move into my property but I got the all the relevant documents signed off, ie/ Inventory list, Check-in list etc. But, I signed the Tenancy Agreement as well as the Tenant but did not have a Witness available. Is the Tenancy Agreement still legally enforceable in the event of a dispute? and if not should I arrange for a witness to sign the agreements with the Tenant's consent? I look forward to the reponse(s). regards, Naeem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPEL Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 If the tenancy is for less than 3 years you're safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTWIN Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I believe the guarantor who signs the doc/deed has to have their signature witnessed by someone who then signs their name as well. The doc/deed we use has a space for there to be a witness signature next to the L/L and the guarantors signature. Also the guarantor should be given a copy of the tenancy agreement.
