Hi

I have a letter signed by me as the only piece of paper that exchanged hands. Its copied below. Is this a "implied assured shorthold tenancy". My tenants are on DSS but have not paid over any rents for two months. Plus they are damaging the property and I really need a repossession. I need to use accelerated possession order but am doubtful if I qualify due to typoe of tenancy and that I have not deposited the deposit in any scheme as I thoughjt this is not an assured shorthold tenancy. Any advise on quick fix for possession?

Your rent is £1150 per month excluding all bills except for building management service charges and house insurance. You are also required to place £1650 returnable Bond/Deposit for this arrangement and I confirm that this has been received.
