Rent Agreement
Say someone has a 6 month tenancy contract with their landlord, but the landlord fails to renew this after the 6 months are up. They carry on living in the house and paying rent as before.
Can the person then leave the house without giving notice? Do they still have to live by the conditions of the contract even if it has expired?

It's not for me, a friend rents out a house and has been "too busy" (code for couldn't be bothered) to renew the contract with her tenants after the 6 months were up. I was concerned that she was in for a load of trouble just because she couldn't find the time to get a new contract signed.
She's not inspected the house since the tenant moved in either... She is a worry.

I'm blue in the face trying to tell her, muchlovex.
She's had several previous tenants, some brilliant and some horrendous. In fact, before this tenant moved in she had to replace all the carpets and have the entire place painted due to the mess left behind by the previous people. Oh, and she had let them use their deposit as the final month's rent so had to fork out for it all out of her own pocket.
More money than sense!
I'll keep at her to do inspections and renew the lease when it comes up each time!
