Tenancy Renewal Letter Template

Since tenancies are now periodic and rolling, formal fixed-term renewals are less common, but you may still want to confirm continuing terms or document changes in writing.

What this tenancy renewal letter covers

When you need a tenancy renewal letter

2026 update. Since 1 May 2026, assured tenancies are periodic and roll on without fixed-term renewal.

The legal framework

Understanding the law behind a tenancy renewal letter helps you use it well. Here is the key UK legislation that applies:

Housing Act 1988
Governs assured and assured shorthold tenancies in England, including the Section 8 possession grounds in Schedule 2.
Renters' Rights Act 2025
Reshaped private renting from 1 May 2026 — abolished Section 21 'no-fault' evictions, converted tenancies to rolling periodic tenancies, and revised the possession grounds.
Tenant Fees Act 2019
Restricts the fees and deposits landlords and agents can charge tenants.

Frequently asked questions

Do periodic tenancies need renewing?

No. Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, tenancies roll on automatically rather than needing fixed-term renewal.

Can terms be changed during a tenancy?

Some terms can be varied by agreement; rent changes must follow the statutory process.
