    But I am not paying monthly at the moment



    What does your tenancy agreement say regarding the rent. I would wager it says the rent is £x per calendar month, not per half year.

    It says Six (6) months rent in advance to be paid as agreed

    Tell you what. I'm out.


    Clearly if six (6) months must be paid then the rent is charged monthly. So somewhere on that front page it will say the rent is £x per calendar month. Broadly speaking that means you have a monthly rate and when you move to a periodic tenancy you will pay rent monthly.


    I cant give any better advice than what I already have.


    1. Do nothing. Pay rent monthly. Chances are nothing will happen.
    2. Find somewhere else to live.
    because...
    3. just pay 6 months again; doesn't seem to be an option.
