The most common form of lease is an AST. Most new leases are automatically of this type. I really should continue to review the rental agreement (which can be agreed) Each rental agreement must contain: rentals from 15 January 1989 and 27 February 1997 can be guaranteed. With this type of agreement, your tenants have increased protection against evacuation. Just a brief update for Jerry/Eric (and for everyone who has followed the disputes in the comments): As of today, March 30, 2015, deposits made after April 2007, which have been protected, and mandatory information provided during the initial fixed term, will no longer have to provide the prescribed information if the lease agreement becomes periodic – it will do so once and for all! 🙂 A tenant may terminate a temporary tenancy agreement prematurely if the lessor consents to it or if there is an interruption clause allowing the tenant to do so. The rental agreement must indicate whether there is an interruption clause and, if so, when it can be used, how much notice must be given and what conditions must be met. If your contract is a guaranteed short-term rental (AST) and you wish to remain in the property after the fixed term, a new written agreement (or “renewal”) is not required. The lease becomes a “periodic lease” and continues under the same conditions as before. This is a very common practice and periodic rentals can, in some cases, last for many years.
However, there are reasons and benefits to extend the lease for another fixed period. If a rental contract is not terminated and no new contract is signed, while the tenant remains in the property, the lease becomes a so-called periodic lease (or “rolling lease”). That is entirely legitimate. Before or at the beginning of your rental, your landlord should also tell you that I wanted to extend the lease for another year with a six-month break clause, simply because I live with the family and there are two small babies in the house and we wanted some stability. From the 1st You cannot be paid a fee for a renewal agreement, even if your current agreement provides for it. It is important that you understand that all the conditions of the previous AST (except those that explicitly apply to the SPT) continue to bind you under the SPT. So if the AST said that you need to have the carpets cleaned by a professional party once a year, you still need to do it. For this reason, I see no other benefit to signing an AST other than giving you a minimum contractual duration.. . .
