Can I request changes to my tenancy agreement?

Yes. You can ask for a change to your tenancy agreement, but any agreed change should be confirmed in writing.

Examples include replacing a joint tenant, updating certain permitted terms or agreeing a shorter notice period. We cannot amend the agreement in a way that removes your statutory rights.

How to make a request

• Explain which term or arrangement you want to change.
• Tell us the reason & preferred start date.
• Provide any details or supporting documents needed.
• Wait for us to confirm whether the change can be agreed.
• Read & sign the amendment where required.
• Keep the completed document with your original agreement.

In England, a charge for a tenant-requested variation is limited to £50 or a higher amount justified by reasonable evidenced costs. There is no automatic charge simply for asking a question. In Dublin, any charge must comply with Irish law & the agreement.

For an ordinary assured periodic tenancy, rent increases & notices still follow their own legal procedures. See GOV.UK guidance.
