SignNow is a cloud-based provider of electronic signature technology, developed in the United States. The company's software-as-a-service platform enables individuals and businesses to sign, and manage documents from any computer.

An assured shorthold tenancy agreement (also known as an AST) allows a landlord to let a property to a tenant. The term of an assured shorthold tenancy agreement is usually 6 or 12 months and will usually convert to a rolling periodic tenancy at the end of the initial term. An assured shorthold tenancy can be for a bedsit, a house in multiple occupation (HMO) or a sole occupancy.

SignNow do not offer an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement template. To create an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement with SignNow you will need to upload your own tenancy agreement template. Moreover, you won't be able to make edits to the AST in SignNow once the template has been uploaded. Updating a template will therefore require updating the document outside of SignNow and then uploading it again.
