What is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy ?

An assured shorthold tenancy is for a fixed period of time.

It does not give a tenant security because at the end of the period of the tenancy the landlord can decide not to renew it.

Also such tenancies will not usually be subject to rent controls.

Can a landlord start possession proceedings before the fixed period of an assured shorthold tenancy has come to an end ?
