<p>The Government recognises that the ending of an assured shorthold tenancy is biggest
cause of homelessness. The Government is committed to protecting the rights of tenants
and giving them more security.</p><p>We have published a model tenancy agreement which
landlords and tenants can use as the basis for longer, family friendly tenancies,
available for free at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/model-agreement-for-a-shorthold-assured-tenancy"

And the measures announced in the Housing White Paper resulted in many of the largest
build to rent operators offering their tenants the option of longer tenancies.</p><p>Also,
this week we have launched the £20 million Private Rented Sector Access Scheme to
support those who are, or at risk of homelessness. This access scheme will help those
people sustain tenancies.</p>
