CEA forms for a tenancy

The documents the Council for Estate Agencies publishes for a residential rental, in the order you meet them. Every link goes to CEA. We host none of them.

Prescribed estate agency agreements

The agreement between an agent and their client. Forms 3 and 4 are the ordinary ones; 7 and 8 are their exclusive versions.

Checklists for a rental transaction

The first is the one CEA marks mandatory for property agents. The rest are the side-by-side lists for a landlord or a tenant, split by flat type.

Tenancy agreement templates

CEA's own templates, one per flat type. These are the documents our clause library is reviewed against.

Where this list came from, and when

Read from CEA's own listing on 2026-09-18. CEA's page is the source of truth: it can add a document or re-publish one at a new address, and a link here would go stale without anybody noticing. If one fails, take it from CEA's agreements and checklists page, which also carries the sale and purchase forms this page leaves out. A landlord or tenant rather than an agent may prefer CEA's page on renting.

What this is not

  • Not ours. These are CEA's documents, under CEA's own names. RentOwl is not the Council for Estate Agencies, and nothing here is endorsed by it.
  • Not copies. Every link points at CEA. We keep no version of any of them, so nothing here can quietly fall behind the published one.
  • Not what RentOwl generates. A tenancy agreement RentOwl assembles comes from our own reviewed clause library, and the estate agency agreement it records is not the prescribed form. Where a rule applies, the agreement you sign is the one that governs.
