Being a bit dim on tenancy agreement
Discussion
I think.
I have been in this property since Oct '15 so about a year and a half. There was a break clause at 6 months, the fixed term was 1 year and then a rolling one month contract.
I may have to move sadly but my landlord says it's a 2 month notice period to end the tenancy. Makes finding something I like a bit (a lot) harder, unless I want to pay double rent for a few weeks.
Not something I want to do as I need to move as money is very tight. And BTW what happened to the business of banning estate agents from charging exorbitant fees to tenants. Seems they are still doing it.
Anyhow, here is the bit in my agreement that states 2 months, just want to make sure that I read it correctly:
[i] THE term shall continue on a monthly basis (notwithstanding expiration of the fixed period)
until either the Landlord or the Tenant gives to the other not less than two months notice in
writing to expire on any Rent Day which in the case of any notice given by the Landlord to
the Tenant falls on or after a date 12 months from the latter of the date hereof (for the
avoidance of doubt any notice given by the Tenant to the Landlord can expire on any Rent
Day) and the term commencement date and in either event on the expiration of any such
notice the tenancy hereby created shall cease and determine but without prejudice to any
antecedent breach of agreement. [/i]
Just seems strange that it states that the term will continue on a monthly basis, yet 2 months notice is required. Cheers.
