Landlord and Tenant Overview
Properties are usually let in England and Wales using an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. This type of temporary agreement is suitable for residential tenancies of between 6 months to 3 years. You may have the right to end a Tenancy Agreement early.

Eligibility
- To exercise their right of possession a landlord must serve a valid Notice to Quit (more properly known as a Notice Seeking Possession) on the tenant.
