Tenancies which can be assured but not assured short-hold tenancies

The following tenancies cannot be assured shorthold tenancies:

• Where you have an existing tenant who holds an assured tenancy, you cannot convert an existing assured tenancy into an assured short-hold tenancy, for example by giving a new form of tenancy agreement. This applies whether or not the fixed term in their tenancy agreement has expired
• An assured tenancy which the tenant has succeeded to on the death of the previous regulated (pre1989) tenant under the ‘succession’ rules
• an assured tenancy following a secure tenancy as a result of the transfer of the tenancy from a public sector landlord to a private landlord
• an assured tenancy arising automatically when a long leasehold tenancy expires.
