Can a 1991 Act tenancy be converted to a limited duration tenancy?
If you and your landlord agree, your 1991 tenancy can be converted to a limited duration tenancy (LDT). Normally LDTs last for a minimum of 15 years, but if you convert from a 1991 Act tenancy, your LDT lease must last at least 25 years. This is to make up for the fact that LDTs do not offer as much security as 1991 Act tenancies. If you are considering converting your tenancy, it’s best to talk to a solicitor first, to make sure you understand all the implications.
