How a landlord can end the tenancy
A landlord can only end a cost rental tenancy in very limited circumstances.
Once you have lived in the property for continuously for 6 months without a valid Notice of Termination being served within that period, you have <security of tenure>.
For tenancies that started on or after 11 June 2022, this means you have the right to stay in the property indefinitely. The landlord can only end the tenancy on these limited grounds:
- You have broken the rules of the tenancy
- The property is no longer suitable for your needs or the people living with you. For example, there aren’t enough beds or space for the number of people.
Unlike standard private tenancies, landlords cannot end a cost rental tenancy for reasons such as selling the property, wanting to move in themselves or move a family member into the property, changing the use of the property or carrying out renovations to the property.
