This is my first post here & I'm hoping someone can clarify part 4 tenancy & how it may apply to us. Our first 12month fixed term lease ends on 30th June. On the 28th May we called the letting agency saying that we wished to remain in the property but we did not wish to sign another 12month fixed term (we are building a house & uncertain of the completion date). The letting agency were adamant that we sign another lease for 12 months but as the conversation went on they settled on 10months but this would need to be given the go ahead from the landlord. We emailed two days later regarding what had been discussed & asked for an update. In our naivety we should have done our homework & read up on our rights as tenants. The situation now is two and a half weeks later the letting agency has come back saying that the landlord has agreed to shorter fixed term lease (10months) & should we wish to remain in the property we need to sign the new lease.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but by telling /emailing the estate agent that our intention was to stay on (one month prior to end of current fixed term lease) are we covered under part 4 tenancy & not obliged to sign another lease & remain on a rolling month basis?
