Reading though some of these posts and indeed posting on my own problems with renting.how come it seems to me landlords can give two months notice to have you leave thier property at any time (if i have read correctly if not please forgive me) but as tennents you can not get out of the tennancy? untill the end of it and even if you are so stressed about the place thats meant to be your home..there is no help for tennents?
and we can be sued for lost rent untill landlord find someone else? as i now understand they cant sue for the full tennancy?

A fixed term is just that, landlord and tenant are commited for the fixed term.
On a periodic tenancy, tenants are required to give one months notice and landlords two months.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

No, the LL cannot give you 2 months notice to quit at any time. If you have a fixed term period, i.e 6 months or 12 months, the LL has to let you live there for that term. He can though give you 2 months notice to coincide with the end of the tenancy.0

True for a monthly periodic - it depends on the period though.On a periodic tenancy, tenants are required to give one months notice and landlords two months.0 -
usually the only way a landlord can get you out of a property before the end of the fixed term is if you stop paying your rent0

And even if the tenancy starts as a periodic tenancy or with a fixed term of less than 6 months then the LL can not seek non fault possession until the end of the 6th months (irrespective of the period).0
