2. Periodic Tenancies
This is the default option. All tenancies created by an OpenRent APT are automatically periodic tenancies. This means there's no requirement to renew your contract for it to remain in force.
If you are looking to increase the rent, you will need to issue a section 13 notice.
Since the Deregulation Act (2015) has come into force, there is no need to re-protect the security deposit or serve additional prescribed information as long as the deposit was properly protected when the tenancy was arranged. The deposit remains protected, and the tenancy remains between the same parties and for the same property.
If you have already set up a tenancy through us, then your entire current contract is visible at any time via our website.
3. Renewing Your OpenRent (Rent Now) Tenancy
