The tenancy is created as an Assured Shorthold Tenancy in accordance with the Housing Act 1988. The fixed term period is for a minimum of six months and once this has been completed, the tenancy continues on a monthly basis. Security of tenure is provided, provided you do not break any terms of the Tenancy Agreement.

The guarantor will be subject to our referencing process and must sign the Tenancy Agreement prior to the moving-in date.
