statutory notice period

We have received our tenancy agreement for a new rental, it states that it is a 6 month AST which then automatically reverts to a monthly agreement.
All pretty standard but it states the notice period is 2 months. Am I right in thinking that the statutory notice period is 1 month and we would be within our rights to request this to be changed.

1 for you, 2 for them perhaps?0

No it definitely states 2 months for us as well. We have only rented 2 other houses and were both 1 month notice from our side.0

You're right; it's 1 month for you and 2 months for the LL once on a periodic tenancy.
You have 2 options:
* ask them to amend it, with the risk that they won't agree and possibly even jeopardising you moving in
* ignore it for now, and if they are difficult when you move out, dispute it through the deposit scheme and you WILL win on that element.0 -
Ignore it. If /when you want to give notice give the 1 month (ish!)

So even if the tenancy agreement states 2 months the deposit scheme can override it?0 -

(not sure where the deposit scheme fits into this question...)0
