The Housing and Planning Act 2016 allows for ten-year tenancies.
Generally a probationary period of one year and the tenancy reviewed after an initial 9 months.
If there are no issues the tenancy is then converted to a fixed term five years.
However, if the initial probationary term is breached by way of arrears or anti social behaviour the period can be extended by six months before a decision is undertaken to award a five-year term or terminate the agreement.
