Tenancy at Will

What is a tenancy at will?

If the landlord and tenant have a rental agreement that permits either party to end the agreement at any time without giving notice, this is known as a tenancy at will. These kinds of agreements do not have a specific time frame for their duration and can be formal or informal. In most cases, a tenancy at will serves as a temporary extension when an existing lease expires.

Things to consider:

  • As stated above, a tenancy at will can be ended at any time by either the tenant or the landlord therefore it is a fairly easy procedure to end the tenancy.
  • Tenants in tenancy at will are not entitled to security of tenure, so they cannot stay in the property after the agreement expires. This can be less advantageous for a tenant.
  • Unlike a regular lease which can be assigned,
    a tenancy at will cannot be assigned to a third party.
  • A tenancy at will is often used while the landlord and tenant negotiate the terms to a new lease after the end of an old one and therefore serves as a good temporary solution.
