Witness availability


n4m7

Recommended Posts

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

You dont need a witness for a AST but you do for a guarantor doc/deed

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.
