Private residential tenancy or short assured tenancy

Most new private tenancies created after 1st December 2017 are likely to be private residential tenancies. However, short assured tenancies created prior to this date may continue either by contract or via tacit relocation.

Where there is any doubt please see the page short assured or residential tenancy.
