Can I change what's in the tenancy agreement?

You can toggle the optional clauses on or off and add a free-text addendum — the mandatory clauses and the disclaimer always stay.

Before sending, you choose which optional clauses to include and can add a free-text addendum for anything the template doesn't cover. Mandatory clauses — and the disclaimer — are always present.

Some clauses appear conditionally rather than by choice. A late payment of rent clause is always rendered, worded to match whatever interest rate you've configured (or to say plainly that no interest applies). A shared-building clause covering common parts and superior-lease obligations appears only for property types that genuinely sit inside a larger building.

The clause selections and addendum text are stored against the signature request itself, so the record of what was sent survives even after the template is later updated.

Not legal advice

These answers describe how Tenarize works and summarise the law in England as the product implements it. They are not legal advice about your situation, and the law changes. For free independent help, Citizens Advice and Shelter both cover renting in England; for anything unusual or contested, take advice from a solicitor.

Tenarize does not currently support Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, whose tenancy regimes are different.
