Starter Tenancies

What are they?

A Starter Tenancy is a 12 month trial tenancy which we give to all new tenants. You will have fewer rights and less protection from eviction than with a full Assured Tenancy and in particular you will not be able to:

  • transfer to another property
  • exchange properties with another tenant
  • buy the property
  • make any improvements to the property

Provided you do not break the terms of your agreement, the tenancy automatically becomes fully assured at the end of the 12 months’ trial period. When this takes place you will get all of the additional rights mentioned above and we will write to you to confirm your new status.
