Adding a new tenant to existing AST

Hi Marie-louise, I’ve recently answered a similar question here:

Adding new tenant to agreement

Hi Giulia, If you want to add a tenant to an ongoing tenancy, you can do this via a deed of assignment or you can begin a new tenancy with both the tenants as signatories. Adding a new tenant to an ongoing tenancy via assignment isn’t something that we (or anyone else) have built an automated system for. The deed would need to be properly drafted, signed by all parties and witnessed. It’s is often more straightforward to simply begin a new tenancy. I’ts very easy to initiate a deposit return …

Feel free to reply there if you have more questions!
