I have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement with a husband and wife as the tenants.  The couple have now separated and the wife wants to stay on and have the Assured Shorthold Tenancy in her sole name.  The question I wish to ask is does the husband have to write to the landlord stating that he wishes to end the tenancy before the wife can sign a new Tenancy.  Will the new Assured Shorthold Tenancy in the wife's name be treated as a completely new tenancy and do all the formalities have to be completed e.g. Energy Efficiency Certificate, Deposit Protection and all other matters that are done at the start of a new tenancy.
