Which type of rental agreement is renewed automatically unless notice is given?

A periodic tenancy agreement is a rental arrangement that automatically renews for a specified period—such as weekly, monthly, or yearly—unless either the landlord or the tenant provides notice to terminate the agreement. This type of agreement allows for flexibility as it does not have a definitive end date and continues until one party decides to end it.

In contrast, a fixed-term lease has a set duration and does not renew automatically. Once the lease period concludes, the agreement ends unless both parties explicitly agree to extend it. Short-term rental agreements often pertain to temporary rentals that can also have fixed terms, typically shorter than a month, and may require a new contract for successive rentals. A month-to-month lease is similar to a periodic tenancy; however, it is more specific in its renewal cycle (every month) rather than accommodating various periodic arrangements.

Thus, the periodic tenancy agreement stands out because of its automatic renewal feature, making it the most appropriate answer to the question.
