I don't want to risk him taking us to court. I have just read over the contract and there is nothing that says about it reverting to a periodic agreement.
My wife says she would rather just get out of the place than pay anymore money to live here!

The contract doesn't have to say anything about a Statutory Periodic Tenancy starting when the Fixed Term ends, it's statutory law.

See G_M's guide to What happens at the end of a fixed term AST and how a LL or T can end an AST.

right ok so we will automatically revert to a periodic ageement

You came here for advice and help.

You've been given information - but don't seem to believe it.

You've been given advice - but seem determined to ignore it.

I shall say no more than to direct you (not the first time in this thread!) to read:

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?)

my goodness I just read the guide to agreements, very long but yes the letter is a notice that the agreement is coming to an end and we have to leave if we don't sign a new agreement.

Sorry you're in the navy?!

F it, the russians are coming, and thank god for that!

so basically what everyone is saying is let the tenancy revert to a periodic one.


b) A Statutory Periodic Tenancy (SPT) can arise automatically. No agreement, signature or fee is needed for this. Often known as a 'rolling' or 'monthly' tenancy.


and


Whatever the contract, or agent, may say, a SPT is a perfectly legal alternative (Housing Act 1988 S5). No action is required to create a SPT: when a FT ends, a SPT automatically arises on the following day if the tenant does not leave.


I should imagine the landlord will then seek action through the court to take the house back.


I and my wife do not really want to go through court action.
