How the What is an AST agreement? review works
Before you sign, pay, or seek advice, a structured read of your assured shorthold tenancy agreement helps you see dates, money terms, and one-sided clauses. VetroCheck breaks the file into checkable points and, where possible, links findings to HA1988, RRA2025, LTA1985, HA2004. This is information-only orientation — not legal advice and not a solicitor–client relationship.
