    "The Assured Shorthold Tenancy is one of the most common in the private rented sector. If your tenancy began, or was agreed, on or after 28 February 1997, it is likely to be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. Tenancies starting, or agreed, before that date but after 15 January 1989, are more likely to be Assured Tenancies.

    However, it important to know that if you are not an Assured or an Assured Shorthold Tenant as your rights may be different.

    [*]if you rent a property where the combined rent is over £25,000 per year, this is known a as a Bare Contractual Tenancy. [link]
