12 month tenancy extension

[theresa39]

Hi,

 

Can anyone help? My LL offered me a new 12 month extension to keep my Assured Tenancy secure. Unfortunately I didn't sign it as I was unwell at the time but he has never chased me for it. Am I legally a tenant? He has never mentioned it when he has come round collecting rent.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Yes you are still a T, LL would still have to give due Notice and get a Court repo order.

If you mean you had an Assured Shorthold Tenancy for upto 3 yrs fixed term, if the fixed term has ended, it automatically became a Statutory Periodic Tenancy, with same T&Cs as AST, but you only have to give 1 month Notice (LL 2 mo) provided Notices are served before end of 1 T period and expires at end of following T period (as appropriate)

If rent is payable pcm, T period is 1 cal month starting on first day of SPT ie day after fixed term ended.

Please confirm date T commenced and freq of rent due dates?

Hi,

 

Tenancy commenced 28/6/07

Frequency 1st each month

So SPT Tenancy period starts 28th of month and ends 27th of following month.

Notices must be served (received) by 27th & expire (effective date) of following month for T Notice to Terminate T.
