    A FIXED-term tenancy is just that: fixed. No notice is required if a tenant is leaving on or before the last day of the tenancy. That's legally. A polite and reasonable person might want to give their landlord a heads-up that they're going. Especially if they don't want to get any hassle about the return of their deposit

    So, at the end of FT on AST, a tenant can simply vacate the property without the two months notice, e.g. a couple of weeks notice, provided all rent is paid on time and up to the last month of the AST?

    a fixed term contract is a contract with a...... errr.... 'fixed term'! When the fixed term expires, so does the contract.

    and where in the link does it suggest a tenant has to give 2 months notice.........?
    either in a FT or SPT.....?

    Sorry, GM, I didn't mean to intrude. That's what my letting agent told me many moons ago about the AST I was signing at that time. I haven't questioned it because it wasn't an issue at that time but when reading the post you shared, it prompted me to ask the question but didn't think it was necessary to start a new thread.

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
