Assured and Assured Shorthold Tenancies


A Guide for Landlords


This booklet will be helpful if you are letting, or thinking of letting, a domestic property and the letting began on or after 15 January 1989.

Assured and Assured Shorthold Tenancies - A Guide for Landlords

However, if you are sharing or are going to share part of your home, you should read the separate booklets called Letting Rooms in your Home - A Guide for Resident Landlords and Renting Rooms in Someone's Home: A Guide for People Renting from Resident Landlords.

These booklets do not deal with agricultural lettings, or lettings by housing associations, local authorities or other social landlords.

The booklets explain the most important features of landlords' and tenants' rights and responsibilities but they are only a general guide. The information on this page is taken from the Communities and Local Government web site.

Tendring District Council's Benefits and Revenue Service also provides useful information for landlords, including Housing Benefit, on their 'Benefits - Landlord's Guides' page.
