What’s the difference between a fixed term and a periodic tenancy? Let’s take a closer look.

A periodic tenancy has no fixed end date and continues until proper notice is given. Tenants must provide 28 days' written notice to end the agreement.
For landlords, the notice period varies:
- 90 days' notice is required for selling, demolishing, or converting the property.
- 63 days' notice is needed if the owner or their employee is moving in.
A fixed-term tenancy has a specific end date and automatically becomes periodic upon expiry unless otherwise agreed.
