naturals Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 As per the thread title; 12 month Fixed Term contract (expired without LL requesting we renew) contract had a break clause at 6 months after break clause, either party could end tenancy with 2 months notice Are we now required to give 2 months notice as per contract, or are we now on a periodic tenancy so standard 1 month notice? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred1981 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 The tenant has to gives one month's notice the day the monthly rent is due. While the Landlord is required give two month's notice, the day the monthly rent is due, served on the correct forms. When your fixed term ended you automatically moved onto a rollling tenancy.

Fred1981 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Correction, notice should be served the day BEFORE the monthly rent is due. https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/private_renting/ending_a_periodic_tenancy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

24gray24 Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 You don't have to wait till the last day. You'd be wiser to do it a good few days early. Eg. One months notice. Rent due on first. Therfore notice due on 30th. But better to send it on 20th (by recorded delivery ?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm presuming you can also give notice mid month, and then pay pro rata rent for the last, say, 2 weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surely proof of postage should suffice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
