Question Title: AST - Minimum term

Question:
1
Is there a minimum length of term for an AST ?
Answer:
Since Feb 28 1997, there is no longer any minimum term of letting for an AST. Prior to this, there was a restriction that an AST could only be granted for a minimum term of six months. But, it should be noted that even under the current rules, the landlord letting under a short letting (i.e. less than six months) cannot gain possession of the property through the courts until six months have elapsed since the original tenancy was granted
