Tenancy agreement where it is not the tenant's main home

What type of tenancy does this agreement create?

Normally, a tenant will sign a tenancy agreement intending to use the property as their main home. In these cases, this will usually create an assured periodic tenancy. 

However, sometimes, a tenant may not intend to use the property as their main home. For example, when someone is moving temporarily for a work placement, they may want to keep their family home but also need a second home to live in during the week while they work. 

In these cases, where the property will not be let as the tenant's main home, it cannot be an assured periodic tenancy. 
Instead, the tenancy will be a non-assured tenancy.

The Renters' Rights Act does not apply to non-assured tenancies, so they may still offer fixed-term tenancies, require rent in advance be paid, and increase the rent via rent review clause.
