If you rent your home from a private landlord or a letting agency then you will probably have a short assured tenancy if:
- your tenancy started after 2 January 1989, and
- the place where you live is rented as a home, and
- it is your only or main home, and
- you received a special notice (an AT5 form) before the tenancy started telling you that it is a short assured tenancy, and
- your tenancy is for at least six months.
