Rolling tenancy is the everyday name for a periodic tenancy
Short answer: choose the agreement by property location and how the home will be occupied. From there, compare the Standard, Premium, Student, HMO / Shared House and Lodger options, or choose the separate agreement for Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
When landlords say rolling tenancy, they usually mean a tenancy that continues from one rental period to the next instead of ending automatically after a fixed term.
If you want the plain-English definition first, start with the periodic tenancy guide. If you are ready to create a new England agreement, use the current Standard or Premium routes rather than relying on older wording alone.
