Regulated Tenancies

Regulated tenancies refer to a type of rental agreement in which the rent and terms are controlled by law, typically to protect tenants from excessive rent increases and unfair eviction. This system is often found in older properties and involves regulations set by the government that landlords must follow. Tenants usually benefit from long-term security and stable rents, while landlords have certain restrictions on how much they can charge. Regulated tenancies are distinct from more common 'assured' or 'standard' tenancies that allow for more flexibility in rent and conditions.
