At the end of an assured short-hold tenancy agreement it moves over to a periodic tenancy if no notice to quit is given by either side. This is quite normal and nothing "iffy" about it at all."I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." — Confucius0 -
The LL is a solicitor and I always ring the solicitors firm to speak to him, it's a well known one round here, I bought a house with them a few years ago. And he has a very distinctive voice so I know it was definitely him that came round.
I think he works along side somebody else but as he's a main contact regarding issues, I was very surprised that he hadn't been there before.
With regards to the lease, we're on a rolling month by month thing (i'm sure there's an actual term for it!) now, where we have to give one months notice and he does too. I was under the impression that was the norm? We've been told that by several estate agents when we were looking.
I'm going to write them a letter anyway and ask for confirmation regarding the dog and the rent increase and ask for a new lease.

Its normal for them to have a bigger deposit but this sort of case isnt very common so i havent heard of an increase in monthly payments before.
I think it seems a reasonable comprimise and i would personally be ok with it. After all he's letting you have your dog when he previously wouldnt. Result!MFW - <£90kAll other debts cleared thanks to the knowledge gained from this wonderful website and its users!0
I recently adopted a cat (in a flat, shock horror) and very happy we are too.
