Summary

When you let your property to a tenant, the tenancy is usually an assured shorthold tenancy (unless you agree otherwise in writing or it is outside the assured tenancy legislation). This means that:

  • you have a guaranteed right to get your home back after six months - if you need to
  • you can charge a market rent
  • you can get your home back if your tenant owes you at least two months' or eight weeks' rent
  • tenants causing a nuisance to local people can be evicted.

The downloadable leaflet (below) gives more detail.
