Landlords should keep a constant check on which fixed term tenancies are ending. Checking dates 10 to 12 weeks ahead is recommended. Why?

1. It ensures options to renew or extend are discussed with the tenant/s before the tenancy agreement rolls over to periodic.

2. It gives the opportunity to review an annual rent change and give notice to the tenant within the required time frame.

3. If owners are moving back in / house being sold / etc. , it ensures sufficient notice is given to tenants advising their vacate date and the procedure for vacating and getting their bond back.
