    The original AST which has now rolled onto a periodic tenancy stands. They paid for a service that was never received/ not within a reasonable timeframe. They did not pay a fee for a verbal contract nor does a verbal one trump a written one, that would be utter madness.

    OK. Put it the other way round. LL agrees to extension. T pays for extension documents. Documents don't turn up. LL changes mind and serves notice expiring before end of agreed extension. Still "utter madness"??? Or a verbal contract?

    You do have a tenancy you have a periodic one, you are not in a fixed term. So one month notice coinciding with a rental period.

    Thanks Fire Fox, this is looking positive. I have a friend who used to work for the OEA so I'll run it past her for confirmation.
