shorthold tenancies

[hilary.denni]

if a shorthold has become a statutory periodic tenancy after the shorthold tenancy has expired and notice has been served and that has also expired, if we accept rent from the tenant on a weekly basis, does the fact that weve accepted rent from them give them any more rights to stay in the property than if we hadnt accepted rent?

My knowledge of the law on this may not be up to date, so others may know better. But it certainly used to be the case that accepting rent without a formal agreement could create a tenancy, which could be an assured one (i.e. something different from an assured shorthold, & giving the tenant more security) and therefore something to be avoided at all costs. You could probably do with some legal advice on this.

It might be time to ask for legal advice

I thought that there was an HL case which confirmed the rather obvious that if a short hold assured tenancy ended and it was continued by something like taking rent,
then anothe short hold assured tenancy was created

and this could be terminated by Yes referring to the terms of the old/first tenancy

Hi
with statutory periodic tenancy (the period after the AST Assured Shorthold Tenancy) has expired the term is on a month by month basis. If the Landlord want to serve notice for the tenants to leave. the LL must give at least two months notice from the rent due date.....However the tenant can give the LL 1 month notice to leave...
