Licence and Tenancy at Will Documents (Charities)

This subfolder of Licence and Tenancy at Will Documents (Charities) contains a selection of licence and TAW agreements.  

These Licence and Tenancy at Will Documents (Charities) have been professionally drafted for use by Landlords granting licences and tenancies at will to charities in respect of office and shop premises and land.

There are templates for use by a Landlord making an office, shop or other retail space available for use by a charity, and for an Owner of land making land available to a charity for a fete or other short term event or activity.

There is a guidance note on use of any of the three “pop up” retail premises licences.

There is also a guidance note outlining the types of arrangement - lease, licence or tenancy at will - that may or should be used for occupation of premises.

The documents are constructed in Word format, and can be customised to meet your requirements. Please click on the links below to view details.

Licence and Tenancy at Will Documents (Charities) is part of Property. Just £38.50 + VAT provides unlimited downloads from Property for 1 year.

Frequently Asked Questions

We want to let a charity use space short term without granting a lease. What should we use? +
Use a licence or a tenancy at will. A licence gives personal permission to occupy without exclusive possession, and a tenancy at will allows occupation that either party can end at any time. Both avoid creating a lease with security of tenure. This sub-folder has licence and tenancy at will templates for offices, shops and land.
A charity wants to run a pop-up shop in our retail unit. Is there a template for that? +
Yes. This sub-folder has pop-up retail premises licences for a landlord making a shop or other retail space available to a charity short term, with a guidance note on using them. A licence keeps the arrangement flexible and short, without the commitments of a lease. Check the arrangement genuinely is a licence, not a disguised lease.
We are letting a charity use our field for a fete. What agreement covers a one-off event? +
A short licence to use land. This sub-folder has a licence for an owner making land available to a charity for a fete or other short term event or activity. It sets out the permitted use, the period and the conditions of access, without granting the charity a lease or any lasting interest in the land.
How do I make sure a licence is not treated as a lease by mistake? +
Avoid giving exclusive possession for a term at a rent, because a court looks at the substance, not the label, and an arrangement with those features can be a lease however it is titled. Keep the occupation genuinely non-exclusive or terminable at will. This sub-folder's guidance note on which arrangement to use helps you choose correctly.
Does a charity need to follow the land disposal rules to grant a short licence? +
A pure licence to occupy is generally not a disposition of an interest in land in the way a lease is, so the detailed Charities Act disposal steps usually do not apply in the same way. The trustees must still act in the charity's best interests and take proper account of value. If the arrangement is really a lease, the charity land rules do apply. This sub-folder's guidance helps you use the right document.
