Private landlords and converted contracts

• If you started renting your home from a private landlord before 1 December 2022 you probably have a converted standard contract
• The type of converted standard contract you have depends on the type of tenancy agreement you had before 1 December 2022

What type of converted contract have I got?

If your tenancy with a private landlord began before 1 December 2022 you now have a converted occupation contract. 

There are 2 different types of converted contracts that you can have with a private landlord. These are: 

• converted fixed term standard contract 
• converted periodic standard contract

Some renting agreements did not become occupation contracts on 1 December 2022. For example, if you live in your landlord’s home and share living space, you will not have an occupation contract.
