landlord john Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hello. If you are the landlord and you have an assured shorthold tenancy agreement can you and the tenant agree to change this from a fixed to a Periodic (on going) agreement during the fixed term period or do you have to wait until the contract is up? thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I've never heard of anyone doing this but I suspect the question is because the landlord wants to change the rent. Shorthand tenancy agreements for new tenants are usually for a 6 or 12 month period during which time a tenants payment record/ performance is monitored and both tenant and landlord can decide whether they want to continue with arrangements or not. A tenancy can be terminated by mutual agreement at any time. Setting up a new tenancy is quite a lot of work with all the documentation required.......especially if the landlord doesn't have a letting agent to handle all that stuff.

Grampa Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 One way to formalise a periodic tenancy is to draw up a new tenancy agreement which would invalidate the earlier tenancy and make the fixed period of the new tenancy 1 month and therefore periodic from the 2nd month. What is the reason in wanting to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
