Renting Property

Stockport property rentals: tenants faq.'s

Do I have to sign a tenancy agreement?

Yes. This protects both your interests and the interests of your landlord.

If you elect to take a fixed term tenancy when that agreement expires you cannot be forced to take out another may elect to go onto a periodic tenancy with the agreement of both yourself and your landlord.

Under a fixed term tenancy there is security of tenure (meaning the landlord cannot regain possession of the property). There is also a certainty about the rent during the term of the fixed term agreement, as it cannot be increased, unless the agreement has a clause specifically stating to the contrary.
