You usually have an AST if: The rent is less than £100,000 per year You (the tenant) are an individual and are using the property as your main home Your landlord doesn’t live in the property The property is privately owned	A company tenancy is when a company takes on a residential tenancy agreement as the tenant. The company employee will live in the property as a ‘permitted occupant’.
An NHA tenancy would also be created if the property isn’t the tenant’s main home.
