What is the difference between Assured and Assured shorthold tenancies?
There is a special reason or ground for possession only available to landlords with Assured shorthold tenants. This allows a landlord to claim possession on the basis that an Assured shorthold tenancy has expired. This is not available with any other type of tenancy. Seeking possession under this ground still needs notice and must be claimed at court, but where correctly claimed there is no defence and the courts will award possession without a court hearing.
