Find the right legal letter for what you actually need to fix. Five priority templates grouped under three clear intents — money & deposits, housing problems, and workplace issues. Pick yours, follow the guide, and we generate the statute-compliant letter for £2.99.
Money owed to you, deposits you can't get back, or a formal demand before court. These templates cite the statutes that put the clock on the other side — Tenant Fees Act 2019 for holding deposits, CPR Pre-Action Protocol for everything else.
Application fell through? The TFA 2019 gives you a 15-day reclaim window — and the central question is whether the landlord served a valid Written Statement of Reasons for keeping your deposit. A Schedule 1 demand letter branches on that and sets up county court escalation via MCOL if they ignore you.
Covers: TFA 2019 reclaim, Written Statement of Reasons, 15-day deadline, MCOL county courtAbout to issue a County Court claim? The right Pre-Action Protocol citation — debt, housing, possession, construction, or general Practice Direction 7A — is auto-selected by dispute type. The form auto-inserts the right Protocol into your letter, computes the modelled response window (30 days for debt, 20 working days for housing, etc.), and produces a downloadable HTML Letter Before Action citing Practice Direction 7A paragraph 4 on costs.
Covers: CPR PD 7A, Pre-Action Protocol Debt / Housing / Possession / Construction, MCOL, costs sanctions, Schedule of LossWhen the property is the problem — damp, broken heating, unsafe wiring, or a rent increase you didn't agree to. These templates draw on the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 s.11 repairing covenant, the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, and the Housing Act 1988 rent-increase procedure.
Damp, leaks, broken heating or unsafe wiring? A Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims compliant Letter Before Action citing Section 11 is the gateway to county court action — giving the landlord 20 working days to repair before proceedings can be issued.
Covers: Pre-Action Protocol Housing Conditions, Schedule of Disrepair, Section 11, damp & mould claims, County Court disrepairWhether the landlord is in breach of the repairing covenant, wants to push through a Section 13(2) Housing Act 1988 rent-increase notice, has withdrawn an amenity you were promised, or has interfered with your quiet enjoyment — the right UK rent-reduction remedy runs off a specific statute. The form auto-selects one of four scenarios: Section 11 LTA 1985 + Section 9A Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 + Pre-Action Protocol Housing Conditions Claims; common law implied term + CRA 2015 analogue for lost services; Housing Act 1988 ss.13, 14 and 19 with a Rent Assessment Committee counter-proposal; or the implied covenant for quiet enjoyment + EPA 1990 s.79.
Covers: LTA 1985 s.11, Homes Fitness Act 2018 s.9A, HA 1988 s.13, RAC reference, CRA 2015 analogue, quiet enjoyment, EPA 1990 s.79, Renters' Rights BillA formal step inside your employer's own procedure — the ACAS Code sets the standard and gives you the right of appeal. This template branches on procedural defect, inconsistent sanction, new evidence, and disparity of treatment so the appeal letter is targeted rather than generic.
