No, I still believe I am correct. From downloading your lease, the following is noted:
On expiration of this Tenancy Agreement the tenancy may continue after the term as follows:
• for a further fixed term, by mutual agreement.
• by the Tenant serving on the Landlord notice to claim a Part 4 Tenancy for 4 years commencing from the
original Commencement Date, provided that the Tenant has been in continuous occupation for 6 months.
Such notice must be received no earlier than 3 months and no later than 1 month prior to the expiry of
this Agreement.
• in the absence of any formal agreement to continue after the term, the tenancy will continue as a periodic
month-to-month under the original terms and conditions of the Agreement
Point 3 is the relevant one - the tenancy continues on a month-to-month basis, under the original terms and conditions. I don't think that the the original one year term is extended for another year.
If you think about it, you cant assume that no formal agreement translates into people being locked in for another year when they haven't signed for it....leases have start and end dates for a reason.
