Fixed Term Tenancy, Was I Obliged To Give Notice To Tenant ?
Hi,
Following on from

obviously giving some notice is the "fair" thing to do but did I actually *need* to give the tenant notice or could I have waited until nearer the renewal date ? They're not being particularly co operative & I'd like to be able to say I'm trying to be "fair".

As Tenants they do not need to give you Notice to leave at the end of the Term. However, as a Landlord, you have to serve them a Section 21 two months from the date of the termination of the Fixed Term Tenancy. If you don't they are within their rights to stay on a Periodic Tenancy, and to remove them legally you will then have to serve them a section 21 and give them 2 months Notice.
Not "the law" as I understand it ummmm. The fixed term would need to be renewed, & I wouldn't have. There's nothing mentioned in the agreement (put together by a letting agency) about my giving them notice, only them giving it to me. The only mention of notice re a fixed term agreement that I've managed to find is on the part of the tenant if they want to surrender the tenancy, which they're doing now & querying how much rent they paid upfront they'll get back.
Go to the Shelter website. Everything you need to know is there.
//.Your landlord must give you formal notice in writing if you are an assured shorthold tenant and they want you to leave at the end of the fixed term.
If you don’t agree to leave when the notice expires, your landlord must follow eviction procedures for assured shorthold tenancies.\\

CW1 You may think you are being 'Fair' but you do not have the choice. Regardless of your cavalier attitude, it IS the Law that the landlord MUST give the Tenant Written Notice that they will not be renewing their Tenancy, and this Notice MUST be given at least two months before the end date of the Tenancy. It is to cover both Tenant and Landlord. You cannot just rock up on the day the Tenancy ends and say 'pack your bags mate I'm not renewing your tenancy'.
I seriously think people should be made to pass a test before they become a Landlord.

Not "the law" as I understand it ummmm. - - - then you dont understand the law. Current landlord and tenant acts do NOT allow possession after a contract has determined UNLESS there is a court order

"If your landlord wants to evict you at the end of your fixed term or you never had a fixed term, they need to give you written notice. You might get either a: s8 or s 21
If your landlord gives you a notice, they can’t force you to leave on the day your fixed term tenancy ends or on the day the notice ends. Your landlord will have to go to court to get a court order."
I dont know why I am doing this
this is the sort of thing a Landlord should know

If you were to do nothing to end the tenancy at the end of its designated fixed term period, and the tenant did nothing either, the tenancy would NOT come to an end. Instead it would AUTOMTICALLY lapse into a statutory periodic assured short term tenancy.
