What will happen to tenancies entered into before 28 February 1997?
Prior to changes introduced on this date, if a landlord wanted to grant an assured shorthold tenancy rather than an assured tenancy, they had to serve notice on the tenant before the tenancy commenced. If a tenancy began before 28 February 1997, the tenant could not have been served with this notice, and will become fully assured on the coming in to force of the changes.
