Unless otherwise stated, nowadays all residential premises are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies. An AST must be for a fixed term; usually a minimum of six months. Unlike the previous forms of tenancy, AST allows landlords to charge a full market rent. Moreover AST allows landlords to let their property for a short period only and to get it back if they wish after 6 months.
