Agenda Note

Upgrading of Tenancies

The changes in the 1996 Act make it easier to set up a shorthold tenancy and quicker and simpler to evict tenants who fail to pay their rent or cause a nuisance and annoyance to other local people.

A tenancy will not be an assured or shorthold tenancy if the tenancy began before 15^th January 1989.

What are the main differences between an assured and a shorthold tenancy?

If let on a shorthold tenancy, the landlord can regain possession of the property 6 months after the beginning of the tenancy, provided that the landlord gives 2 month’s notice that they require possession.

If let on an assured tenancy, the tenant has the right to remain in the property unless the landlord can prove to the court that there are grounds for possession. The landlord does not have automatic right to repossess the property.
