Ok, back to tenancy agreements. The AST under consideration here is used and designed for tenancies and residential lettings which come under the ASTs of the Housing Act 1988(HA 1988). The tenancies for which this type of AST is not suitable are:-
When a property is not a separate property but is a part of a building and the tenant shares this property with the resident landlord. This occurs mainly when houses are converted into flats as in this case the landlord doesn’t remain a resident landlord. This happens because the landlord doesn’t have a flat built in the same block as that of the tenant.
What does this policy mean?
The Housing Act 1996 clearly states that any tenancy which has been created on or after the 28th of February 1997 is a certified AST. It may not qualify to be an AST if a tenant has been served a notice by the landlord telling that the tenancy will not be considered as an AST. A tenancy is called an assured tenancy if a notice has been served. The requirements for ASTs listen by the HA 1988 are:
The tenant must be an individual and the property which is occupied should be the tenant’s principal or only home.
In the case of a tenancy which has not specified a fixed term see note, Periodic tenancy - no fixed term.
The Department for Communities and Local Government also has a list of Assured Tenancy Forms on its website.
