yeah ask them
and then look at the tenancy agreement. If it is 12 mo fr'instance then YOU are stuck until the 12 mo is up but they ( depending on the contract ) can give a months notice.
BUT or AND.... it could be a lease that has run out - and everyone has just continued.... in that case it is called 'run on' and the period of the lease is the space between rents. If the rent is paid monthly, then he period is monthly....
you need to serve a s 21 notice on them and give a date for termination at least eight weeks in advance. SO do it today and the date is May 31st.
You must NOT tell them the date you want the house ( June 1st ) but the date on which the tenancy ends. May 31 st.
and then on June 1st you need to apply for a court order which will be done within a few weeks as your application cannot be refused...
It is easier to go and see her and say look you are having difficulty with the rent - have you thought of moving ?
well you asked .... and that is what you do.

Cant increase rent on fixed tenancy but can on shorthold.

The tenancy is shorthold. If it is in the fixed term you cannot evict unless the tenant breaches the terms - e g by rent being 2 months or more in arrears. If the fixed term has ended and the tenancy is periodic then you can evict by giving 2 months notice (Section 21 notice, as PP says).
Your alternative is to negotiate with the tenant, but they may well not be prepared to leave.
You cannot just put the rent up.

The woman with the baby ?
with the facts given the local council are obliged to rehouse as she has a child under five and has been evicted thro no fault of hers
the woman needs to make sure that the rent account is paid at the time she contacts it. [ past arrears give no cause of action, eighteenth century case -and I am pretty sure it is carried over to this area of law ]

PP -
The Council will want to be certain that the tenant is being evicted lawfully. As so often on here we don't know the full facts, but the landlord needs to be certain that what they do is lawful as illegal eviction is a criminal offence.
Could you elaborate on your comment about rent arrears? You seem to be saying the rent must be up to date when the tenant applies to the Council for housing but that past arrears are irrelevant. Is that what you mean? If so, I'm not sure the Council would see it that way. The Court could - under assured shorthold law - order eviction due to persistent rent arrears even if there are none at the Court date. I suspect the Council wold treat that as intentional homelessness.
