Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST)
This is the most common type of Tenancy Agreement and provides the tenant with certain protections under The Housing Act 1988. This agreement should be used where the rent is below £100,000 per annum, the tenancy is for a period of six months or more and the tenant is an individual, or group of individuals, rather than a company.
