If you rent your home from a private landlord or a letting agency then you will probably have an assured tenancy if:
- your tenancy started after 2 January 1989, and
- before the tenancy commenced, you were not given a notice (an AT5 form) stating that it was to be a short assured tenancy, and
- the place where you live is rented as a home, and
- it is your only or main home.
