Tenancy Management During Emergencies Templates
In emergency or exceptional circumstances, such as public health emergency, pandemic, government-mandated restrictions, or other major disruption, landlords and tenants may need to make temporary changes to how a residential tenancy is managed.
These situations can affect the use of the property, access to shared facilities, and the services provided by the landlord. Clear communication and proper documentation are essential to ensure that any temporary measures are lawful, proportionate, and clearly recorded.
Managing Residential Tenancies During Emergencies
During an emergency, landlords and tenants may agree to short-term or temporary arrangements, including:
- Consent for tenants to work from home where this would otherwise require landlord approval
- Changes to property management or services, such as suspending or modifying cleaning or maintenance services
- Introducing temporary rules or regulations to comply with official guidance
- Restricting access to, or closing, common parts to protect health and safety
Any such changes should be time-limited, clearly documented, and regularly reviewed.

This range of professionally drafted template letters are designed to help landlords respond quickly and appropriately to exceptional circumstances, while maintaining compliance with tenancy agreements and statutory obligations.

- Avoid permanently varying tenancy terms unless a formal Variation Agreement is used
- Keep clear written records to reduce the risk of disputes
