I’m in a joint fixed term tenancy with 2 other people and we would like to give our notice on the 1st May when the tenancy becomes periodic but we’re unsure on what dates to give.

Our rent is due on the 1st of each month so from our understanding if we gave our notice to quit on the 1st may, the last day of our tenancy should be the 30th june (2 rental periods). however i have seen some guidance online (shelter, citizens advice etc)) that says we must give 2 MONTHS notice, not 2 rental periods. This would mean our tenancy would end on the 1st july, but wouldn’t this mean we have to pay another months rent since our rent is due on the 1st?

Does anyone know which would be correct?

TIA
