Adding a new name to tenancy agrement

[george123]

Hi,
I have a tenant moving in this month.

Tenancy document is prepared using OpenRent tenancy creation service.

Tenant’s family (husband and 10 year old child) are not in the UK now.
They will join her in 2 months time.

I hope I cannot include the names of her husband and child now as they are not in the country now.

When her husband and child joins her, do I need to cancel this tenancy agreement and create a completely new tenancy agreement or
will I be able to manually add their names (may be husband’s name alone, child is only 10 year old) to the tenancy agreement which I will be creating for her now?

Thanks,

[Per]

Maybe read this before asking?

Adding new tenant to agreement

[I thought this would be an obvious topic but couldn’t find any relevant post or FAQ, please do redirect me if you know of one] In short: my tenant has a new partner and would like to add them to the tenancy. Is there a way to do this that doesn’t involve starting everything from scratch, including tenant fees, deposits, referencing, etc? Cheers, Rob

As for a minor child you’d never put them on the lease. What would be the reason for doing so?

Thanks Per for the link.
It looks like it will be easy if I start a new tenancy after 2 months when the tenant’s husband comes to the UK. So, I have to cancel the current tenancy after 2 months return the deposit, then start a new tenancy again.

Is there a standard tenancy agreement format I can download and use at that point?

I hope I need to collect the deposit and register the deposit,
I need to prepare new inventory and I need to provide a new how to rent guide at that time.
Thanks,
