Why stamp a tenancy agreement?

An unstamped tenancy agreement cannot be used as evidence in court if there is a dispute between landlord and tenant. Late stamping also attracts penalties. The duty is based on the annual rent and the length of the tenancy. See the Stamp Duty Guide for the full rate table.
