  • Landlord arranging rental insurance - asks us to sign a new tenancy agreement

    Hi

    I'm new here but I'm looking for help as I've received an email below from my landlord:


    "I got your contact info from **Name of the Agent**. Guys you will shortly receive by email from Advanced Referencing a reference request for rental insurance. To explain, I am trying to take out cover for you urgently, while it is still available. I am not asking you to pay for referencing or to help towards paying the premiums. If successful you will need to sign a new tenancy agreement, which will have 1 month’s notice either side, as current. Hence the text in the reference request "your application to rent a room". Just ignore this phrase.
    The insurance would be of benefit to both you and I if we can get it. Thanks for your help with the paperwork. Please reply to Advanced Referencing as quickly as you can.

    LANDLORD"

    First question - Why do I need to sign a new rental agreement? I've got 7 months left (end of December) and I am not 100% sure if I want to stay in this property for longer - all depends on circumstances. If I understand correctly, he wants to sign an on a rolling contract, is that correct? Also, as far as I'm aware, landlords legally must give us 2 months notice not only 1 month - is that true?

    Please, let me know what should I do in a current situation as I assume it benefits mainly him and new contract should reflect the existing one as he is making the change and it’s to benefit mainly him.
