A single periodic assured tenancy. Assured shorthold tenancies ended on 1 May 2026 and existing ones converted automatically on that date.
There is no fixed term any more. The tenancy runs on until the tenant ends it or you establish a ground for possession.
The tenant can leave at any point with two months’ notice. You cannot, which is the asymmetry people miss when they first read it. Ending a tenancy from your side means a Section 8 ground, four months’ notice for selling or moving in, and no re-letting for twelve months afterwards.
Nothing needed signing to make the conversion happen. It applied to every existing tenancy on the day.
