  • The Length of a Tenancy Agreement and the Legal Implications for UK Residential Property Landlords  By : Propertyhawk
    How long should I grant an assured shorthold tenancy agreement for?
    It’s possible to grant an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) for a fixed period, say 6 months. These tenancies are referred to as Fixed Term Tenancy’s. At the end of the term if the tenancy is not renewed, it then becomes a Statutory Periodic AST. The terms of the original tenancy agreement still apply, but the tenancy continues on a period by period basis. For instance, if the agreement required rent to be paid monthly, then a monthly Statutory Periodic Tenancy would result. The other type is called a Contractual Periodic Tenancy where no term for the end of the let is set and the tenancy agreement simply continues until either party decide to bring it to an end.
