What is an assured periodic tenancy?
A plain-English explanation of periodic tenancy arrangements and what they mean day to day.
Last reviewed: 12 August 2026
The basics
A periodic tenancy runs from rent period to rent period rather than for a fixed block of time. It continues until it is properly brought to an end.
In practice this means tenancy administration is ongoing rather than a single event at the start, so record keeping and communication matter more.
What we do
We keep tenancy documentation, rent records and correspondence in one place so both landlord and tenant can see the current position.
Regulations can change and circumstances vary. Move Forward Group provides property-management support but landlords should obtain specialist legal advice where required.
