How long can a short assured tenancy last?
A short assured tenancy lasts for a minimum of 6 months. The landlord and tenant can agree to have the tenancy last for a set term (e.g. 6 months or 12 months). Once the initial period ends the landlord has the right to apply for repossession or the landlord and tenant have the option of renewing the tenancy. LawDepot’s tenancy agreement may not be suitable for terms exceeding 3 years. You should consult a solicitor if you require a term longer than 3 years.
