Residential Tenancies Act 1986

Application of Act

6: Long fixed-term tenancies

You could also call this:

“This law about long-term renting agreements doesn't apply anymore because it was cancelled.”

This part of the law used to talk about long fixed-term tenancies. However, it was removed from the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 on 1 December 1996. This means that this section no longer applies and there are no rules about long fixed-term tenancies in this part of the law anymore.
