Hello everyone I would be grateful for your expertise on this wuedtion please. Background is thst my son signed a 12 month lease in 2016 which ended in June 2017.. His rent is payable monthly on tbe 25th of each month. He has completed on a house purchase and so gave a month's notice on the 1st of October.
We have studied the tenancy papers and tbere is no mention anywhere in it about giving notice after the initial 12 months. The landlord is insisting that the notice can only be accepted from the 25th of the month and that rent is payable until 25th November.
How should he respond to this?

subject to you/your son posting the actual start and end dates of his 12 month tenancy he should acknowledge that the LL is probably correct and son is almost certainly wrongHow should he respond to this?
now go and read G-M's guide to the rules around a Statutory Periodic Tenancy and how to end one...
* Ending/renewing an AST: what happens when a fixed term ends? How can a LL or tenant end a tenancy? What is a periodic tenancy?

I'm assuming you mean tenancy, not lease.
This depends on whether he currently has an SPT or a CPT, read G_M's guide for details.

Sorry I hadn't given enough detail so
12 month fixed term stsrted 29th May 2016 ended 28th May2017 in England.
Assuming a rolling monthly tenancy followed this although there is nothing written into the tenancy agreement about this nor the required notice.0 -

So the notice period doesnt have to be specified in tbe agreement?0

Nope because by allowing the tenancy to rollover like it appears to have it becomes a statutory periodic tenancy and the notice period are then derived from the legislation.
The landlord would have to give two months notice if he wanted to end the tenancy and the tenant has to give one month's notice, aligning with the tenancy dates.0
