What type of tenancy agreement do I have?

At Enclave, residents sign an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement, which is the standard type of tenancy in England. It outlines your rights and responsibilities, including the length of your stay, notice periods, and rent payment terms.

Key features of an AST

  • Fixed term: Usually for a set period, such as 12 months.

  • Renewal: At the end of the fixed term, you may be offered a renewal. 

  • Tenant rights and responsibilities: Your agreement outlines what’s included in your rent, maintenance obligations, and rules for living in the property.

Why this matters

  • An AST gives you legal protection as a tenant, ensuring fairness around notice periods, and rent.

  • It also sets clear expectations for both you and Enclave.

Helpful tip

Always keep a copy of your signed tenancy agreement. If you’re unsure about any clause — such as notice periods, break clauses, or rent reviews — ask the on-site team to explain it in plain terms.
