initial period

Effective 1st May 2026, under the Renters’ Rights Act there is no longer a fixed period or set end date for a tenancy. All tenancies are now open-ended, rolling monthly periodic tenancies. The tenant can give notice to quit at any time which cannot be less than two months before the date on which the notice is to take effect unless the landlord has agreed in writing to a length of time not exceeding two months.
