Fixed Term Expired - what I have now

bhjm

Hi Everyone,

i was June 17 till june 18 on a fixed term with an agency contract, but everything was handled by the Landlord.

We then received a new contract for another 12 months fixed term, but never returned, nor signed the new contract. We stayed in the Apartment and continued to pay rent.

As there is nothing specifically mentioned on my initial contract. Am I assuming correctly that i am on a rolling term and not on a fixed term contract?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Correct.

But that might be either a Statutory Periodic Tenancy, or a Contractual Periodic Tenancy. Read the original agreement.

thanks for reaffirming and the link.

In the initial contract is nothing mentioned about a contingency of the tenancy.

I assume you mean 'continuation'?


Then you have a Statutory Periodic Tenancy.

Unless the new contract sent had a change, e.g. rent went up. If you then started paying the new rent I think it would be deemed you'd accepted the new tenancy.


Tenancies in England don't have to be signed: Or even written: Bonkers!

So at the end of a fixed term contract as long as the landlord posts you a new one you are tied in for another however long the original one was?:eek::eek:

if there are changes - if no changes - then I would say SPT

even i highly doubt that a contract is valid and accepted without mutual signature, i would like to know your source of this information.

Then you are wrong. There is no requirement for a contract to be written.

I'm not sure how you're getting that from what Artful said.

That is correct, but isn`t it than hard to proof ?
