Hello, I gave my friend a tenancy agreement. It’s important to note that it’s for a 12-year term with a 9-month break notice that can be served by both the landlord and tenant. (I know it’s very friendly terms since he was my friend.) Other terms include the landlord will handle repairs, and the tenant will keep the room tidy—very basic terms. There is no mention of rent increases, so I can’t increase the rent for the entire 12 years.
Now our friendship has fallen apart, and my mortgage has gone up, so naturally, I want to regain possession. The property is in Wales.

- The law states that fixed-term tenancies will automatically convert to standard occupation contracts, and I should provide a written statement, which I did within the deadline in October 2023. However, now that I have served notice, he is saying it’s invalid because it’s not the correct written statement. I downloaded the written statement from the Welsh Government website: https://www.gov.wales/model-written-...dard-contracts.
- I must acknowledge that at the beginning of the model written statement, it states it’s not compatible with tenancy agreements that have a break clause. The problem is, I can’t find any template that suits my situation, e.g.: a) The term is more than 7 years; in this case, it’s a 12-year fixed term. b) The break clause allows both parties to give at least 9 months’ notice to end the tenancy (I think the law allows the tenant to give 4 weeks’ notice, which I have no problem with). But the main issue is where I can find the correct template. My tenancy agreement is for 12 years and was issued in 2021, so it will need to be converted to a fixed-term standard occupation contract, I think. c) Furthermore, since we have a break clause, I can’t find a model statement or sample anywhere, and the one model statement provided by the government clearly states it’s not suitable for tenancies with a break clause. Please help me find a template for a model written statement for a converted fixed-term standard occupation contract that includes a break clause.
