The legal framework

Understanding the law behind an assured periodic tenancy agreement helps you use it well. Here is the key UK legislation that applies:

Renters' Rights Act 2025

From 1 May 2026, abolished Section 21 and converted assured shorthold tenancies into rolling assured periodic tenancies. Landlords must provide tenants with prescribed written information.

Housing Act 1988, Schedule 2 (as amended)

Now the sole route to possession, via the revised Section 8 grounds. The mandatory rent-arrears ground requires three months' arrears.

Tenant Fees Act 2019 & deposit protection rules

Restrict permitted fees and require deposits to be protected in an approved scheme.

Frequently asked questions

Why is this periodic rather than fixed-term?

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 abolished fixed-term ASTs for new lettings in England — every new residential tenancy now starts, and stays, periodic from day one, rather than running for a fixed term first.

How much notice does a tenant need to give?

Tenants can generally end a periodic tenancy by giving notice — commonly two months — without needing to wait for a fixed term to end.
