Hi, I really need help? I am taking a room in a shared house. Its not through an agency. There is no minimum contract time. I just need to give 3weeks prior notice before leaving. My question is if a typed and signed tenancy agreement by me and landlord is legal and considered as an adress proff or do we need to register it with some government body or something?

As you are on the UK board i assume you are in the UK. A typed and signed agreement by you and the landlord is fine as long as you both have a copy- you can get a witness if you like just to see fair play.

No reason why the agreement shouldn't be considered legal - although if there were conditions in it that go against the law, for example because they were considered unreasonable, a court could refuse to accept those conditions as being binding.
As for proof of address, it depends on the requirements of the person wanting proof. Very often, banks and other institutions will want to see an agreement with someone other than a private individual, which could just have been drawn up by anyone and is hard to verify. They will be looking for something more "official" like a utility bill, or letter from benefits, inland revenue, etc. The people that want the proof should be able to assist you with details of what they will accept.

Richard B's connection with the CAB information approximately tenancy agreements is very useful - noticeably in case you look on the element of 'Unfair' - neither you nor your landlord are allowed, via signing the contract, to place one yet another in a disadvantageous place ..... which potential if the owner allowed to you sign the contract - understanding there replaced right into a issue with the neighbour - then the tenancy contract might desire to be considered unfair ...... although you do no longer say despite if the neighbour is likewise a tenant of the owner or no longer .... If the tenant is a tenant of the owner then the owner has 2 duties to you - one to deal right this moment and effectively with the noisy tenant, the different is to deal extremely with you - via negotiating extra with yourselves as to the place you pass with the tenancy now ie might you be arranged to proceed your tenancy for the the remainder of the 6 months if he dealt with the tenant effectively, or might you prefer to attain an contract approximately early termination and the return of your deposit.... If on the different hand the neighbour is housed in a property no longer belonging to the owner - in case you may prepare that previous tenants, or a minimum of the final one, had comparable noise issues as those you're experiencing - and can prepare that the two proceedings have been made to the owner or a minimum of he replaced into made conscious that a issue existed - then despite if or no longer he might desire to cope with them or no longer .... you may prepare that via no longer informing you with regards to the situation earlier you signed the contract, the owner intentionally positioned you at a downside to his very own income via infringing on your maximum suitable to choose on ...ie he favoured his hire monies greater than he favoured your criminal maximum suitable to 'quiet entertainment without interruption' of your living house..... i'm no longer a criminal eagle, yet could be stunned if, once you seek for criminal suggestion (and that i strongly advise you do), that my estimation would be discovered to be distant the mark .....

An agreement between you and a landlord is a valid lease. Leases, other than "long term leases" do not need to be registered in the land records of the county.

It's legal if it's legal. You don't have to get it registered anywhere, but at the same time I'm fairly certain that you 're not allowed to include things that are NOT legal, for expample something against race relations.

Its a contract between you and the landlord only, nobody else is involved.

You have to do it in the magistrate's stamped paper, and it has to be made by you, the tenanant after going thru' with your landlord.
