Can a landlord start possession proceedings before the fixed period of an assured shorthold tenancy has come to an end ?
The landlord can bring a tenancy to an end even if the full period of the tenancy has not come to an end.
However, the landlord must be able to show good reason for bringing the tenancy to an end, such reasons (grounds) are given in Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988, but only grounds 2, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14A, 15 or 17 apply.
Once the period of an assured shorthold tenancy has come to an end does the tenant have to leave ?
