How long can you rent a holiday let to one person? With all the restrictions(protections) for tenants if they have a long term rental, we would rather renew/relet to our possible tenant every 3-6 months as we also have the property up for sale and our prospective tenant is only looking for a stopgap. I understand the minimum long term rental is 1 year and we couldn't ask our our tenant to leave just because we sold the house, or could we if we put that in the initial contract e.g. 2 months notice [even over Winter]? Any advice or pointers in the direction of advice gratefully received. We'd like to help someone in a difficult position but we don't want to end in one ourselves.
