Are these the only types of residential Tenancy agreements allowed in the UK?
<p>On the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/tenancy-agreements-a-guide-for-landlords/tenancy-types" rel="nofollow">Government's</a> website it lists the types of tenancies, which makes me think that by law one is constrained to choosing one of those tenancies only and not have the option to create your own or customise one of those agreements by removing the <a href="https://www.tenancyagreementservice.co.uk/standard-clauses#" rel="nofollow">standard clauses found</a> within those agreements although you can add your own.</p>

<p>Am I right in my understanding?</p>

<p>The standard tenancy types create certain minimum rights which cannot be changed by contract.</p>

<p>Beyond that, the standard clauses are common recommendations, but they're not required. You don't have to have a written tenancy agreement at all - though that's not recommended.</p>

<p>Ultimately, anything can be written into a contract, so long as it meets certain criteria, e.g. any requirements have to be legal, reasonable, etc.</p>
