There are many good landlords out there who invest a significant amount of money in the properties. Assured Shorthold Tenancies provide landlords with the peace of mind that their property and the costs associated with it provide a return on their investment, and creates safeguards for when tenants leave. We ask the Government to reverse the move to periodic tenancies and allow landlords of all property types to continue to provide fixed-term tenancies.
