Assured Periodic Tenancies Explained
An assured periodic tenancy is a rolling private rented tenancy. It does not have a fixed end date and it normally continues until the tenant gives valid notice, both sides agree to end it, or the landlord lawfully regains possession.
This guide explains who is likely to have an assured periodic tenancy, what happened to fixed-term assured shorthold tenancies, what written information should exist, how rent and deposits work, and what renters and landlords should check before giving notice or taking action.
What an assured periodic tenancy means
An assured periodic tenancy is a tenancy held between a landlord and a tenant that runs on a rolling basis. The rent period may be weekly or monthly, but the tenancy itself does not have a fixed final date.
In everyday terms, the tenancy rolls forward from one rent period to the next. The tenant does not have to leave just because an old fixed term or written end date has passed. The landlord cannot end the tenancy simply by saying the term has expired.
The tenancy can still end. It may end because the tenant gives valid notice, both sides agree to end it, or the landlord follows the correct possession process and a court makes an order where needed.

Quick answer
Most private renters in England who previously had an assured shorthold tenancy are now treated as having an assured periodic tenancy. A new assured private tenancy cannot be created with a fixed end date. If a tenancy agreement includes an end date, that end date should not usually bring the tenancy to an automatic end.
An assured periodic tenancy is most likely where the property is the tenant’s main home, the landlord does not live in the property, and the tenant has their own room. The tenant may share a kitchen or bathroom with other tenants.
| Point | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling tenancy | The tenancy runs from one rent period to the next instead of ending on a fixed date. | Check the rent period, rent due date and any old fixed-term wording. |
| No automatic expiry | A written end date in an assured tenancy should not usually end the tenancy by itself. | Do not assume you must leave just because an old agreement date has passed. |
| Tenant notice | A tenant can usually leave by giving valid written notice. | Check the notice period, rent due date, joint tenancy position and whether both sides agree a shorter period. |
| Landlord possession | The landlord normally needs a valid possession ground and the correct process. | Check the notice form, ground, notice period, service evidence and court papers. |
| Written information | Landlords and agents may need to provide written terms or the official information sheet. | Keep the agreement, information sheet, emails and any updates from the agent. |
Check your tenancy type before relying on a rule
Use the Tenancy Type Checker if your agreement says AST, licence, lodger, student accommodation, supported housing, company let, holiday let or another label. The label on the document can be wrong, so check the facts before acting.
Who this guide is for
This guide is for people dealing with a private rented home in England where the tenancy is likely to be an assured periodic tenancy. It helps tenants understand whether they can stay beyond an old fixed date, how to give notice, what to do if a landlord says the tenancy has ended, and which evidence to keep.
It also helps landlords and agents avoid common mistakes, such as using old fixed-term wording, relying on a date that no longer ends the tenancy, forgetting written information duties, asking for rent before signing, or trying to end the tenancy without the correct possession route.
When a tenancy is likely to be an assured periodic tenancy
- the property is the tenant’s main home;
- the landlord does not live in the property;
- the tenant has their own room, even if they share a kitchen or bathroom with other tenants;
- the tenancy is a private rented arrangement rather than council housing, a lodger arrangement or a holiday let;
- the rent level does not fall outside the assured tenancy limits;
- the arrangement is not one of the excluded housing types.
Shared houses and HMOs
A tenant in a shared house can still have an assured periodic tenancy if they have their own room and the landlord does not live in the same accommodation. Sharing a kitchen, bathroom or hallway with other tenants does not by itself stop a tenancy being assured periodic.
If the landlord lives in the same home and shares living accommodation with the occupier, the occupier may be a lodger or excluded occupier instead. That route is different and needs separate advice before relying on assured periodic tenancy rules.
What this guide does not cover
Some housing arrangements have different rules. Do not rely on this page as a complete answer if your situation is outside ordinary private renting.
- you live with your landlord and may be a lodger or excluded occupier;
- your landlord is a local council or housing association;
- you are in purpose-built student accommodation or halls;
- you are in supported housing, temporary accommodation or homelessness accommodation;
- the property is a holiday let, business tenancy or licensed premises;
- the rent is unusually low or very high;
- the tenancy is for more than 21 years;
- you are a property guardian, service occupier or employee occupier;
- you are renting through a company let or employer arrangement;
- you have received a possession notice, court claim or bailiff appointment.
Rules by stage
Before the reforms
Many private renters used to sign assured shorthold tenancy agreements with a fixed term, often six or twelve months. The agreement usually said the tenancy would run until a set end date and might then become periodic if the tenant stayed.
Under the reformed system, fixed-term assured tenancies have been removed for private renting in England. The old label on a document may still say “assured shorthold tenancy”, but the practical legal route may now be an assured periodic tenancy.
Existing tenancies
Most existing assured and assured shorthold tenancies automatically became rolling assured periodic tenancies. The tenant did not need to sign a new agreement just for the tenancy to become periodic.
If the old agreement contained an end date, that end date should not usually apply as an automatic leaving date. A landlord should not treat the tenant as having to leave simply because the old fixed term has ended.
New tenancies
A new assured private tenancy should run on a rolling basis. It should not be created with a fixed end date. If a landlord or agent includes an end date in an assured periodic tenancy, that date should not usually end the tenancy.
The written agreement can still contain important terms, such as rent amount, rent frequency, repair reporting, permitted payments and rules about the property. But it should not make the tenancy a fixed-term assured tenancy.
If your old agreement still says AST
Do not rely on the title of the agreement alone. A document may still say “assured shorthold tenancy” because it was written before the reforms or because the template has not been updated. The current legal route may still be assured periodic.
Keep the old agreement, any renewal documents, rent records and any message from the landlord or agent about your tenancy status. If the landlord says the old AST wording still controls the position, ask them to explain the legal basis in writing.
If your old agreement still has a fixed end date
A fixed end date in an assured tenancy should not usually make the tenancy end automatically. A landlord should not simply say “the fixed term has ended, so you must leave” without using the correct legal route.
If you want to stay, ask whether the landlord is relying on tenant notice, mutual agreement, a possession ground or a court order. If the answer is unclear, keep the message and get advice before leaving.
Forced renewal or new fixed-term pressure
Be careful if an agent says you must sign a new fixed-term agreement, pay a renewal fee or accept a fresh fixed date to remain in the property. A rolling assured periodic tenancy should not need a new fixed term just to continue.
Do not sign a replacement agreement without reading it. Ask what is changing, whether the tenancy is still assured periodic, what rent will apply, and whether any fee or condition is being added.
How long the tenancy lasts
An assured periodic tenancy continues until one of three things happens: the tenant gives valid notice, both sides agree to end the tenancy, or the landlord lawfully regains possession. The landlord cannot usually rely on expiry of a fixed date alone.
Joint tenancies
If more than one person is named on the same tenancy agreement, it may be a joint tenancy. Joint tenants are normally responsible for the whole rent together, not just their own share.
If one joint tenant wants to leave, the notice rules can be complicated and the effect can be serious for everyone. Joint tenants should get advice before serving notice if some tenants want to stay or if a replacement tenant is being discussed.
Agreement and written information
A tenancy agreement is a contract that sets out the legal terms and conditions of the tenancy. It may be written or oral. A written agreement is usually easier to prove because it records the rent, rent period, tenant names, landlord details and other key terms.
If you already have a written agreement
If you already have a written tenancy agreement, you usually do not need a new one just because the tenancy became assured periodic. Instead, the landlord or letting agent may need to give you the government-produced information sheet explaining the changes to your tenancy.
Keep the original agreement, any renewal documents, the information sheet, emails from the agent and any messages about the tenancy becoming periodic. These documents may matter later if there is a rent, notice or possession dispute.
If the agreement was oral
An oral tenancy agreement can still exist. If the agreement is oral, the landlord must give the key terms in writing where the rules require it. Written key terms help show who the landlord is, who the tenant is, the property address, rent, rent period and other core terms.
If you do not have written terms, ask for them in writing. Do not wait until there is a dispute, because missing documents can make it harder to prove rent dates, notice dates or agreed responsibilities.
Information Sheet for existing written tenancies
Where an existing assured or assured shorthold tenancy was created before the reform date and has a wholly or partly written record of terms, the landlord or agent may need to give the official Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet.
If an agent manages the property, the agent may be responsible for giving the sheet even if the landlord also provides it. The sheet is important because many older agreements still contain fixed-term, section 21, rent review or renewal wording that does not explain how the reformed rolling tenancy system works.
If the Information Sheet was not provided
Do not assume the tenancy is invalid just because the information sheet is missing. Treat it as a compliance and evidence issue. Ask the landlord or managing agent for the sheet in writing and keep a record of the request.
If the landlord or agent refuses, ignores the request, or is also relying on old fixed-term or section 21 wording, consider contacting the local council private rented housing team, tenancy relations team or housing enforcement team. Keep the tenancy agreement, messages, screenshots and any agent correspondence.
Written information for new or oral agreements
For new assured periodic tenancies, the landlord should make sure the required written information is provided before the tenancy is signed and agreed. If the agreement is oral, key terms should still be provided in writing where required.
Important written information can include the parties, property address, rent, rent period, tenancy start date, payment method, permitted payments, notice rules, pet request process and other required terms.
Terms that may no longer work
Some old tenancy terms may not work in the same way under the assured periodic system. Examples include fixed end dates, old renewal clauses, old rent review wording, or terms saying the landlord can end the tenancy without a possession ground.
| Old wording | Why to check it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed end date | An assured periodic tenancy should not end automatically on a fixed date. | Check whether the landlord is wrongly treating the old date as a leaving date. |
| Renewal fee or renewal requirement | A rolling tenancy should not require a fresh fixed-term renewal to continue. | Ask what legal basis the fee or renewal demand relies on. |
| Old rent review clause | Rent increases now normally need the correct statutory route for assured periodic tenancies. | Check the notice form, date, amount and challenge deadline. |
| Old no-fault wording | The landlord cannot use the old no-fault route for a new assured periodic possession process. | Check the eviction notice and possession ground. |
| Old pet ban wording | Pet requests now have a specific process and the landlord should consider the request. | Send the request in writing and keep the reply. |
Rent, deposits and other rights
An assured periodic tenancy changes the structure of the tenancy, but it does not remove normal rent, deposit, repair or behaviour responsibilities. Tenants must still pay rent and follow the agreement. Landlords must still follow the correct rules when taking payments, increasing rent, protecting deposits and dealing with requests.
Rent payments
The rent should be paid when it becomes due under the tenancy agreement. Keep rent receipts, bank statements and rent ledger entries. If rent arrears build up, the landlord may be able to use a possession ground, so renters should get advice early if they cannot pay on time.
Rent increases
For an assured periodic tenancy, rent increases usually have to follow the statutory notice process. The rent should not normally be increased more than once a year, and the tenant may be able to challenge a proposed increase that is above market rent.
Check the notice form, notice period, proposed start date and whether the increase begins at the correct point in the rent period. Do not ignore a rent increase notice, because challenge routes usually have deadlines.

Rent in advance
A landlord or letting agent should not ask for, encourage or accept rent before the tenancy agreement is signed. Once the agreement has been signed and before the tenancy starts, a monthly rent payer can usually be asked for no more than one month’s rent in advance.

Rental bidding and advertised rent
Landlords and letting agents should advertise a clear asking rent and should not ask for, encourage or accept offers above the advertised rent where the rental bidding rules apply. Keep screenshots of the advert, messages and any wording that asks applicants to offer more.
If you are told that a higher offer, larger upfront payment or “best and final” rent bid will improve your application, save the evidence before challenging it.

Deposits
A tenancy deposit is not rent. It is security money held against things such as damage, unpaid rent or other tenancy breaches. Where tenancy deposit protection rules apply, the deposit should be protected in an authorised scheme and the tenant should receive the required information.
Related guide: Deposit Protection Checks in England.
Pets
A tenant can ask to keep a pet. The landlord should consider the request and should give a reason if refusing. Keep the request, reply and any conditions in writing. If pet insurance or extra terms are discussed, ask for the basis and record what is agreed.

Benefits, children and fair treatment
Private renting reform strengthens protections around refusing renters because they receive benefits or have children. If a landlord or agent links a refusal, extra rent demand, viewing barrier or worse tenancy term to benefits or children, keep the advert, messages and exact wording.

Repairs and safety duties
An assured periodic tenancy does not remove repair and safety duties. The landlord may still be responsible for repairs to the structure, exterior, heating, hot water, damp-related defects, gas safety, electrical safety and other duties depending on the facts.
Report repairs in writing, keep photos and videos, and record dates. If there is serious damp, mould, dangerous electrics, no heating, unsafe gas appliances, fire risk or HMO safety concern, contact the council or get housing advice quickly.

Antisocial behaviour and tenancy breaches
Serious antisocial behaviour, violence, criminal activity, nuisance or repeated breach of tenancy terms may give a landlord a possession route. The evidence matters. A landlord should not rely on vague accusations alone, and a tenant who is wrongly accused should keep messages, witness details, police references, council records and incident logs.
If you are affected by antisocial behaviour, keep a dated log and report serious risk to the correct service. If you are accused of antisocial behaviour, get advice before replying if the landlord has sent a formal notice.
Ending the tenancy
If the tenant wants to leave
A tenant can usually end an assured periodic tenancy by giving two months’ notice in writing. Check the rent due date, the date notice is given, and whether the landlord has agreed any shorter period in writing.
Do not give notice until you are reasonably sure you can leave. Once a valid notice is served, it may be difficult to withdraw unless the landlord agrees. Keep proof of service, the proposed end date, key-return arrangements and final rent calculation.
Joint tenants and notice
Joint tenancy notice can affect everyone named on the tenancy. One tenant’s notice may have serious consequences for the other joint tenants. Get advice before one joint tenant serves notice if other tenants want to stay, if there is a replacement tenant, or if the household is in dispute.
If the landlord wants possession
A landlord who wants to end an assured periodic tenancy needs a valid possession route. They must use the correct form, give the correct notice period and rely on a legal ground for possession. If the tenant does not leave by the notice expiry date, the landlord normally has to apply to court.
Common grounds may include selling the property, the landlord or a close family member moving in, rent arrears, serious antisocial behaviour or other grounds set out in possession rules. Some grounds have restrictions, notice periods or evidence requirements.
Common possession grounds to check
| Ground type | What it usually means | Evidence to check |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord wants to sell | The landlord says they need possession so the property can be sold. | Notice form, ground relied on, ownership evidence, timing restrictions and any marketing or sale evidence. |
| Landlord or family moving in | The landlord says they or a close family member need to live in the property. | Who will live there, their relationship to the landlord, notice wording and whether restrictions apply. |
| Rent arrears | The landlord says rent is unpaid. | Rent account, bank records, benefit delays, payment plans, errors and arrears amount on the relevant dates. |
| Antisocial behaviour | The landlord says the tenant or household has caused serious nuisance or harm. | Incident logs, police/council records, witness evidence, warning letters and the tenant’s response. |
| Breach of tenancy | The landlord says the tenant broke a term of the agreement. | The clause relied on, evidence of breach, warnings and whether the issue has been fixed. |
| Specialist housing ground | The landlord says the property is needed for supported, student, employer or other specialist use. | Housing type, agreement wording, eligibility conditions and the exact possession ground. |

If the landlord sells the property
A sale does not usually make the tenancy disappear overnight. A landlord may need a valid possession ground and the correct process if they want the tenant to leave before a sale. If the property is sold with the tenant still living there, the buyer may become the new landlord and should provide proper landlord details.
If an estate agent asks you to leave for viewings, photography or completion, ask for the legal basis in writing. Keep messages, viewing requests and any pressure to move out.
Section 21 no-fault eviction
The old section 21 no-fault process can no longer be used to evict a tenant from an assured periodic tenancy under the reformed system. If a notice uses old section 21 wording, check the date, transition rules and whether any court process had already started.
Related guide: Section 21 No-Fault Evictions: What Changed.
Court process
A possession notice does not by itself mean the tenant must leave immediately. If the tenant does not leave, the landlord must normally apply for a possession order. Only a court, and later a bailiff or enforcement officer where needed, can force a tenant to leave lawfully.
Get advice quickly if you receive a possession notice, claim form, defence deadline, possession order, warrant, bailiff appointment or any threat of lockout. Do not rely only on a general guide if a deadline is close.
Evidence and red flags
What evidence to keep
Assured periodic tenancy disputes often depend on dates, documents and wording. Keep a clear folder from the start.
| Evidence | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Tenancy agreement | Shows parties, property, rent, rent period, old fixed date, signatures and key terms. |
| Information Sheet or written terms | Shows whether the landlord or agent provided required written information about the tenancy. |
| Rent records | Shows payment dates, arrears, rent period and whether rent has been accepted. |
| Deposit certificate | Shows whether the tenancy deposit was protected and what scheme is involved. |
| Notices | Shows the possession ground, rent increase form, tenant notice or other formal step. |
| Messages | Shows what was said about fixed dates, leaving, renewal, rent increase, pets or possession. |
| Proof of service | Shows when a notice was sent, received or delivered. |
| Repair and safety records | Shows disrepair reports, hazards, photos, inspection dates and council involvement. |
| Council or advice emails | Shows previous reports, complaint routes and professional advice received. |
Red flags to watch for
“Your fixed term has ended, so leave”
A fixed end date should not usually end an assured periodic tenancy by itself. Ask for the legal basis in writing.
Old section 21 wording
If a landlord uses no-fault eviction language, check whether the notice and any court process are valid under the current rules.
Forced renewal
Be careful if an agent says you must sign a new fixed term or pay a renewal fee to stay.
Rent increase by email only
Rent increases usually need the correct form and notice period. Check before accepting the new rent.
No written terms
If the agreement is oral or unclear, ask for key terms in writing and save all messages.
Pressure to leave without court
A landlord should not lock you out, remove belongings, change locks or harass you into leaving.
Problems and next steps
If the landlord says the tenancy has ended
- Ask for the reason in writing. Ask whether they are relying on tenant notice, mutual agreement, a possession ground or a court order.
- Check the agreement. Look for old fixed-term wording, rent period, notice clauses and signatures.
- Check whether a valid notice was served. Look for the form, ground, date, notice period and service evidence.
- Do not leave just because of pressure. Get advice if you are unsure, especially if you have nowhere to go.
- Contact the council if there is harassment or unlawful eviction risk. Keep all messages and call logs.
If an agent demands renewal
- Ask whether renewal is legally required. A rolling tenancy should not normally need a fixed-term renewal to continue.
- Ask whether any fee is being charged. Ask which permitted payment category applies.
- Ask what terms are changing. Check rent, deposit, pet terms, notice wording and any new restrictions.
- Do not sign under pressure. Get advice if the new document changes your rights or says you must leave if you do not sign.
If you want to leave
- Find your rent due date. Your notice timing may need to line up with the rent due day or the day before it.
- Check whether you are a joint tenant. Get advice before serving notice if others want to stay.
- Give notice in writing. Use a method you can prove, such as email with delivery record or tracked letter.
- State the leaving date clearly. Avoid vague wording like “I plan to leave soon”.
- Keep paying rent during the notice period. Ask for a final rent calculation if the dates are not obvious.
- Get written agreement for any shorter period. If the landlord agrees you can leave earlier, keep that agreement.
If the rent is increased
- Check the form. Assured periodic rent increases normally need the correct statutory notice.
- Check the notice period. The landlord should give the required notice before the new rent starts.
- Check the start date. The new rent should normally start at the right point in the rent period.
- Compare market evidence. Look at similar local properties, size, condition and location.
- Get advice before the challenge deadline. Tribunal routes usually have time limits.
If you are locked out or threatened
- Keep yourself safe. Call emergency services if there is immediate danger.
- Contact the council. Ask for tenancy relations, private sector housing, housing enforcement or homelessness prevention.
- Keep proof. Save lock-change messages, photos, videos, witness details and police or council references.
- Get advice urgently. Unlawful eviction and harassment can be serious and time-sensitive.

Frequently asked questions
What is an assured periodic tenancy?
It is a rolling tenancy between a landlord and tenant. It does not have a fixed final date and continues until the tenant ends it, the landlord lawfully regains possession, or both sides agree to end it.
Is an assured periodic tenancy the same as an assured shorthold tenancy?
No. Assured shorthold tenancy was the old common private rented tenancy type. Most existing ASTs became assured periodic tenancies under the reformed private rented system.
Can I stay if my old tenancy agreement has ended?
Do not assume you must leave just because an old fixed date has passed. If the tenancy is assured periodic, the landlord normally needs a valid possession route or your valid notice.
Can my landlord make me sign a new fixed-term agreement?
A rolling assured periodic tenancy should not need a new fixed-term agreement just to continue. Ask what legal basis the landlord or agent relies on before signing.
Do I need a new tenancy agreement?
If you already have a written agreement, you usually do not need a new one just because the tenancy became periodic. Keep any information sheet or written update your landlord or agent provides.
Does my landlord need to give an Information Sheet?
In some existing written assured or assured shorthold tenancies, the landlord or managing agent may need to provide the official Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet. Ask for it in writing if you have not received it.
Can the agreement be oral?
Yes, a tenancy agreement can be oral, but the landlord may have to provide key terms in writing. Written terms are important because they help prove rent, dates and responsibilities.
How much notice does a tenant give?
A tenant can usually give two months’ notice in writing. The timing should be checked against the rent due date, joint tenancy position and any written agreement for a shorter period.
Can one joint tenant end the tenancy?
Joint tenancy notice can be complicated and may affect all tenants. Get advice before one joint tenant gives notice if others want to stay.
Can a landlord use section 21?
The old no-fault section 21 process can no longer be used for assured periodic tenancies under the reformed system. Check any old notice carefully, especially if court proceedings started before the change.
What if the landlord sells the property?
A sale does not usually make the tenancy end automatically. The landlord may need a valid possession route, or the buyer may become the new landlord if the property is sold with the tenant in place.
Can the landlord increase the rent?
Yes, but the landlord usually has to follow the correct statutory process, give proper notice and use the correct form. The tenant may be able to challenge a rent that is above market rent.
Can I ask for a pet?
Yes. A tenant can ask to keep a pet. The landlord should consider the request and should give a reason if refusing. Keep the request and reply in writing.
What if the landlord tells me to leave without court?
Do not ignore it, but do not assume you must leave immediately. Ask for the legal basis in writing and get urgent advice if there is lockout, harassment, court action or homelessness risk.
