An Assured Shorthold Tenancy (often shortened to AST) is the most common type of private rental agreement in England and Wales. It’s typically used when a landlord rents out a residential property as someone’s main home.
Most ASTs begin with a fixed term, usually six or twelve months. After that, landlords can seek possession of the property using a Section 21 notice, or the tenancy could either roll on as a periodic tenancy or be renewed with a new fixed-term contract if both parties are happy.
The tenancy sets out key terms like rent, responsibilities for repairs, and what happens to the deposit.
