Hi,
My Assured Shorthold Tennancy is coming to an end on 4th Feb 2026. My landlord has written to me to ask whether i would like to renew the tennancy for a further 6 month term or whether i intend to vacate the property in expiry.
..Though can't i just ask to have it transition to a rolling month by month tennancy?

If you have an AST and do nothing when the initial term expires, then the tenancy will automatically go to periodic rolling.faringdon said:Hi,

If you do not sign a new agreement and do not move out of your own accord, the LL would need to serve notice and potentially go via the courts.

Also have a read up on the renters rights bill which will make any fixed term tenancies into periodic tenancies from May 2026.0
