Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST)
The most common form of tenancy in England. Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, all existing ASTs will convert to periodic assured tenancies. New ASTs can no longer be created. Tenancies will roll on a periodic basis with tenants able to give two months' notice to leave at any time.
