- Are fixed-term tenancies being abolished?
Yes, all new tenancies will become periodic (rolling month to month) from day one. - What does a periodic tenancy mean for landlords?
Tenants can leave with 2 months’ notice, and landlords must use valid grounds (via Section 8) to regain possession. - Can I still charge break clauses or renewal fees?
No, under the new framework, such practices will be restricted or prohibited. - Do existing tenancies have to change?
Yes, existing fixed-term agreements will transition to periodic tenancies over time — exact timing will be phased.
