    It's a 6 month Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement, now it has automatically rolled onto a Statutory Periodic AST. I didn't say it was ever a 6 month fixed term.
    what do ou think "6 month AST" means? It is an AST with a fixed term lasting..... errrrr.... 6 months!

    This is taken from the AST page of the Landlord Blog, all of which I am sure you are aware, but just to clarify for you:
    If at the end of the fixed term of the tenancy is not renewed, it then becomes what is known as a Statutory Periodic Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. This means that the terms of the original tenancy agreement still apply, but the tenancy continues on the rent schedule. For example, if rent is paid on a monthly basis, then the contract will become a monthly periodic tenancy.
    correct
    There’s also what is known as a Contractual Periodic Tenancy; this is when no term for the end of the let is set and the tenancy simply continues until either party decide to bring it to an end.
    correct

    And at the end of the fixed term (of 6 months in your case) either a SPT or a CTP will arise automatically.

    They are different.

    And the notice to end them is (or rather, can be) different.

    The wording in the contract regarding notice refers to 2 months, as stated. As the tenant is way beyond the fixed term I don't see the relevance.
    Well you are again contradicting yourself:
    * if notice is defined in the contract, that implies (subject to exact wording) it is now a CPT
    * yet you say above it is a SPT, not a CPT.
    Please make up your mind.

    Or if you really don't know and want help, then answer the questions asked, fully and clearly, and we can advise.
    :
    Since you have chosen not to provide the wording requested, it is impossible to advise you with certainty, and I decline to continue guessing.

    The answer is, anyway, in the link I provided you earlier.
  • The simple answer to my simple question is May 3rd.
  • The 3rd - there aren't two 4th's in a month ;)

    May the 4th be with you? ;)

    That's one option.
    There are plenty of others earlier than the 3rd May.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
