>Because of the Renters' Rights Act (fixed terms converted to periodic tenancies from 1 May 2026), I now need to give 2 months' notice that must expire at the end of a rental period. Not if your current contract hasn't already rolled over which it won't have if it was due to expire on 24th July. Your tenancy agreement's notice period still applies, unless you've signed a new one since it'll be 2 months unless it's less stipulated in the new agreement but as you've failed to mention this I don't believe you have been served a new agreement and your old notice still applies. *'If a tenancy from before 1 May 2026 allows for the tenant to give less than two months’ notice to end it, then that shorter notice period will also be valid after 1 May 2026. This is based on the maximum period the landlord can ask for is two months’, but the Renters’ Rights Act allows for less notice by agreement and does not state that a previously agreed notice period of less than two months should be changed after 1 May.* *It is possible this point might be challenged in the courts but mydeposits position is that landlords should check their current tenancies carefully and if the tenancy allows a tenant to give less than two months’ notice either in line with a break clause or at the end of the tenancy then notwithstanding all tenancies becoming periodic from 1 May 2026, the landlord should allow the tenant to give the notice as set out in the tenancy agreement agreed before 1 May 2026.'* *Source(s) are work and* [MyDeposits](mydeposits.co.uk/.../tenant-notice-periods-un...)
