Tenancy File Index / Contents Sheet

This TLA tenancy file index sits at the front of a physical or digital tenancy file and records every key document held for the tenancy.

What this document covers

  • Property, tenancy, landlord and agent file details
  • Tenancy setup documents
  • Statutory documents served
  • Safety certificates and property licences
  • Financial and rent records
  • Property, maintenance and contractor records
  • Communications, notices and warnings
  • End-of-tenancy documents and retention records

This document helps landlords, agents and managing offices confirm whether documents are on file, served, signed, current and correctly stored.

Why this is important under RRA 2026

The RRA 2026 framework makes well-organised tenancy records more important. Landlords and agents may need to produce documents quickly for legal support, possession claims, ombudsman complaints, insurance requests or internal audits.

A complete file index reduces the risk of missing documents and supports better handovers between landlords, agents, office staff and legal advisers.

When should landlords use this contents sheet?

Use this document at the start of each tenancy file, during file audits, when transferring management, before legal escalation, or when preparing a full compliance review.

Evidence and compliance checks

  • Record whether each document is on file
  • Mark whether documents were served on the tenant
  • Record whether signed documents are complete
  • Identify where master copies are stored
  • Review and update the index during periodic audits

Important legal note

This index does not replace the underlying tenancy documents. Landlords and agents should retain the original documents securely and ensure that personal data is handled in line with UK GDPR obligations.
