Quote:
"An assured or shorthold tenancy may either:
● last for a fixed number of weeks, months or years � called a fixed term tenancy; or
● run indefinitely from one rent period to the next � called a
contractual periodic tenancy."

The source for that quote is a Government booklet which explains the different forms of tenancy (and their implications). It's available as a pdf, here:
