AI summary
A periodic tenancy has no set end date and continues until notice is given, while a fixed-term tenancy runs for a specific period.
For periodic agreements, tenants must give 28 days' written notice. Landlord notice periods vary by reason:
- 90 days for selling the property or major renovations.
- 63 days if the owner or their family will move in.
A fixed-term tenancy automatically becomes periodic at its conclusion unless both parties agree otherwise.
