Download the Free Template
You don't have to give a reference - but if you do, it has to be accurate, fair and evidenced.
This template keeps you to the facts, records the tenant's consent, and leaves out everything that could get you into trouble.
In this free template you'll be able to:
- Confirm the tenancy dates, rent, deposit and who else was named on it
- Tick off rent record, arrears, property condition at check-out, deposit outcome and any complaints or notices
- Record the tenant's written consent, so you have a lawful basis under UK GDPR
- Stay clear of protected characteristics and the rules on benefits and children that came in on 1 May 2026
