Assured Tenancy Sample Clauses
An Assured Tenancy is a type of residential tenancy agreement that grants tenants certain legal protections and rights to occupy a property, typically under the Housing Act 1988 in England and Wales. This clause establishes that the tenancy meets the criteria for an assured tenancy, such as the tenant being an individual and the property being their main home, and not falling under excluded categories like high-value properties or company lets. Its core practical function is to ensure that tenants benefit from statutory security of tenure, meaning landlords can only regain possession under specific legal grounds, thereby providing stability and predictability for both parties.

Assured Tenancy. To be an Assured Tenant: The landlord must not be resident in the same property. You must have exclusive possession of at least part of the property (for example, a room). This means that the landlord or the landlord’s agent cannot enter the property without reasonable notice or by prior arrangement. You would normally have some cooking facilities. The tenancy agreement does not need to be in writing under the terms of the 1988 Housing Act, but from 28 February 1997, unless it is stated in writing in your agreement that it is Assured, it is likely that it will be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (see next section). Assured Tenancies can either be “fixed term” or “periodic”. If it is “fixed term” you are contracted to pay rent for the whole period. If the tenancy is “periodic” it will run from week to week or month to month (depending on how frequently rent is due).
