Thanks for the reply gordies, it does seem that way in the agreement, but I was given some hope by the following thread consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?133533-Periodic-tenancy-tenant-s-notice-period But I take it that that logic doesn't hold with my agreement

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me any information on whether or not I am required to give a 2 month notice to end my tenancy. I have included the relevant sections of my agreement below. I live in Scotland and I am 11 months into a 6 month short assured tenancy agreement. My main question is does the two month notice hold now the termination date of the agreement has passed. I understand that my agreement states 'two months' for the tenant (see clause 11.1.3 below) and also specifically states month by month for the landlord (see clause 11.1.2), however does this still hold now that I am in a monthly periodic agreement. (To me monthly periodic agreement and two months notice contradict each other? – could this be the case). BTW I live in Scotland. Many Thanks for any responses (my landlord has been really unhelpful as I am sure you could imagine) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.3 The Term of Tenancy The Landlord will let ant the Tenant will take possession of the premises under a Short Assured Tenancy commencing on 07th January 2011 (entry date) until 07th July 2011 (the termination date).

The landlord may serve such notice either (i) to terminate the tenancy at its termination date (ii) To terminate on the calendar month date due of the Notice to Quit date if the Short Assured Tenancy Agreement continued mutually between both parties from calendar month to calendar month as in terms of Clause 1.3 of this Agreement. (iii) To terminate the tenancy where the tenant has broken or not performed any of the obligations under this agreement 11.1.3 By the tenant giving the landlord two months notice in writing. 11.1.4 By the landlord giving the Tenant the required Notice in terms of Section 19 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988....
