TYPE OF AGREEMENT

We usually offer properties on 6 months Assured Shorthold Tenancies, which effectively means the tenant is obliged to remain in the property for this period of time. At the end of the initial term the Tenancy automatically becomes a Statutory Periodic Assured Shorthold Tenancy, and terms remain the same except the Tenant must give one month's notice to vacate. Should the Landlord at any time require possession, 2 months notice to terminate the agreement has to be given. If property is a short term let only, a Notice of Determination can be issued at 4 months from commencement of tenancy, requiring the tenant to vacate at the end of the 6 month period.
