Landlord Document 03 Periodic Tenancy Agreement

This Periodic Tenancy Agreement template provides landlords and letting agents with a fully compliant document for ongoing tenancy arrangements. It is ideal when a fixed-term tenancy ends and continues on a rolling basis (week-to-week or month-to-month). The agreement outlines key terms, ensuring both landlord and tenant obligations remain clear under UK housing law.

📘Purpose & Use Case

A periodic tenancy arises when a fixed-term tenancy expires and neither party signs a new fixed-term agreement, but the tenant remains in the property with the landlord’s consent. This document formalizes the arrangement, preventing misunderstandings and safeguarding compliance with the Housing Act 1988. It clearly sets out notice requirements, rent payment terms, and property responsibilities for both parties.

📘Who Should Use This Document?

  • Landlords whose fixed-term tenancy is ending but wish to continue renting on a rolling basis
  • Letting agents managing properties transitioning from fixed-term to periodic agreements
  • Property managers ensuring ongoing tenancies remain legally compliant

📘When Should It Be Used?

Use this agreement immediately after the original fixed-term tenancy ends if the tenant remains in the property without a new fixed-term agreement. It ensures clarity on notice periods, rent reviews, and termination procedures for periodic tenancies.
