There are various ways in which a landlord may let their property in the UK. Depending on their particular circumstances a landlord may wish to let a property for a definite period of time with exclusive possession under what is called an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) (most tenancies will be this type).
If you are entering into an AST, we recommend reading our briefing note entitled ‘Top tips for landlords renting property in the UK‘.
