Tenancies that CANNOT be an assured (shorthold) tenancy

An assured shorthold tenancy is the most common type of agreement used by landlords in England in the private rental sector to give tenants the right to live in the property. The main difference between an assured and assured shorthold tenancy is that a section 21 notice can not be served with assured. Schedule 1 of the Housing Act 1988 contains certain tenancies that cannot be assured or an assured shorthold tenancy agreement, such as resident landlords and tenancies where the rent payable is greater than £100,000 per annum.
