I have ask tenant to commit to 12 months tenancy with price rise half way through… He agreed to it. How’s best to go about it. Is there a way to word AST like that? Or do I have to stick to 6 months tenancy and then renew Contract for another 6 months with a higher price? It gives me option to set up contract for 12 months but I have to put the amount. I don’t think I’ll be legally able to ask for increase within that period if the amount ant the length of contract are in writing? ---

Why don’t you just set the rent you want from the beginning. You will only be able to increase the rent after 6 months if the tenant agrees it informally or if you have a 6 monthly tenancy agreement. That would allow you to serve a s13 notice as soon as the tenancy becomes periodic and the increased rent can then be paid from month 7, (or possibly month 8). I never give fixed terms of more than 6 months anyway as in practice tenants will only stay as long as they need to regardless of the length of your tenancy. ---
