In short: Since 1 May 2026, most private tenancies in England are periodic and roll month to month, so tenants can leave with two months' notice. That makes standard tenancies more flexible than before. For shorter stays, furnished short lets and serviced apartments offer stays from weeks to months, usually with bills included, but at a higher monthly cost. Fraser Bond can help you compare options for your dates and budget.
| Option | Flexibility | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard periodic tenancy | Leave with 2 months' notice | Lowest monthly |
| Furnished short let | Weeks to months | Higher |
| Serviced apartment | Nights to months | Highest, with services |
