    An AST is for a minimum of six months, and would not apply to a situation where you are renting a room in someone's home.
    What a load of disinformation!

    An AST can be for however long, or short, the 2 parties involved agree.

    Guest101 says 1+ days, but in theory (and law) it could be for even shorter (though in practice it's unlikely).

    .... The rooms in the house are rented out individually to students and professionals.
    So I assume it's an HMO?

    Does it meet the specifications for compulsory registration as an HMO? If so, is it registered (check with the local council)?

    If not, this may give you bargaining power.
