Can landlords advertise their property for a fixed-term term and agree for it not to become periodic upon expiry?
This is a very common situation. A landlord has a place that they want to fill for long-ish fixed-term but want to make sure the fixed-term tenancy doesn't become periodic upon expiry as they may want to use it themselves or as an Airbnb during a busy period. The question is always can this be done and how to go about it.
