Which Tenancy Agreement?

Answer: Standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy

This is the most common situation, where a whole house or flat is let to one tenant, or several tenants sharing, where they all sign the same tenancy agreement. This will be a ‘normal’ AST.

Most of the tenancy agreements available in the shops will be suitable for you. However, read the next page, which gives details of the special types of Landlord Law agreements which may be more appropriate for your situation.

Be aware that all assured shorthold tenancies will convert to assured periodic tenancies on 1 May 2026, when the Renters Rights Act will come into force.  Find out more on the next page.
