1976Housing (Shorthold Tenancies) Bill. Explanatory Memorandum. The object of the Bill is to create a new standard form of tenure of dwellings which will allow the owners of vacant property and people seeking rented accommodation to enter into simple but secure arrangements for short tenancies of fixed term. The Bill suggests that this new form of tenure should be known as ‘shorthold’. A shorthold lease may cover any period between a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years. 1979Hansard Lords 25 Oct. 202 The Government will be introducing a new form of shorthold letting in the Housing Bill this Session. 1980Jrnl.
