Summary

If you start renting a property now, the rent is less than £25,000 per year and you do not live in the same house as the landlord, the tenancy will automatically be an assured shorthold tenancy (unless your landlord agrees otherwise in writing).

It is up to you to agree the length of the tenancy with the landlord. It can last for a set period (known as a fixed term) or be left open-ended.
