Tenancy timeline

Which rules apply to my tenancy, and when do they change?

Three regimes run side by side, keyed on the date the tenancy began. Enter yours and the tool gives the date your protection began, the six-year cycle where there is one, the notice band you are in today and the dates it changes, and which grounds are open to a smaller and a larger landlord.

Your tenancy

One date decides which rules apply

The dates assume the tenancy has run without a break and that no valid notice was served in the first six months. A sub-tenancy, a licence or student-specific accommodation has its own rules.
