Fixed term contract renewal and pull out clause

nuevo79

Hello,
I have been living in a rented property for 6 months in a fixed term contract.
I have to renew that fixed term contract now and I wonder whether I will have to stay another 6 months or I can leave before it expires, giving the 1 month notice that reads in the contract.

Thanks

If you sign a new 6 month contract you, and the landlord, are committed for ..... 6 months.

Ending/Renewing an AST (what happens when the Fixed Term ends?)(What is a Periodic Tenancy?)(How can a LL remove a tenant?)(How can a tenant end a tenancy?)

After 6 months your contract goes onto a periodic tenancy where you need to give one calendar months notice and the landlord has to give you two.
Check the AST very carefully

No you don't have to... Simply do nothing and the tenancy continues, month by month, until someone ends it...

The "have to renew" comes, perhaps, from a letting agent wanting his fee?? (He's charging you to renew?? - illegal in Scotland btw...)
