Fixed Term Tenancies

From 1 May 2026, fixed-term tenancies will be removed. All tenancies will move to a periodic structure, meaning they will run on a rolling, month-by-month basis with no fixed end date.

How This Affects Your Rental Property

  • All tenancies will automatically transition to a periodic structure, including those currently in a fixed term beyond May 2026.
  • Tenants will have greater flexibility and can leave at any time by providing two months’ written notice.
  • This removes the certainty of fixed terms, meaning active management, tenant retention, and correct pricing will become more important.
  • The standard two months’ notice period will apply to all tenancies.
  • This also applies to student tenancies, with additional considerations covered separately.
