To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential for increasing the use of periodic tenancies in the UK; and whether they have examined the use of periodic tenancies in other countries in making any such assessment.

The department has carefully considered the decision to move to periodic tenancies, as part of the forthcoming reforms to renting in England, and has consulted and engaged with stakeholders from the private and social rented sectors on tenancy reform changes over several years. This engagement will continue.
