As a tennant of 5 years I sign an assured shorthold agreement every 6 months, it used to be a year but my landlady changed it for some reason. |

Thanks for the 10 points for yesterday's answer, Sani. I see you are still worried, though.
If you start them off on a shorthold tenancy agreement, and never have any other sort of agreement, then you will always be able to get them out, either at the end of the original agreement or the end of any renewal agreement, or (if they are "holding over" on an expired agreement) on two months' notice. You always have to give the two months' notice, though, so if the first agreement is for 6 months expiring on (say) 20 June 2007, you need to give them notice before 20 April saying you want them out on 20 June, if you want them out on that day.
Even if you never have a renewal agreement, and they stay on under the original one for 20 years, you can still get them out on 2 months' notice.
To be exact, the notice has to expire (in this example) on the 20th of the month, so if you gave it on (say) 21 January in 10 years' time, you would have missed the boat for 20 March, and it would have to be worded to expire on 20 April, which would be almost 3 months' notice, really.
Of course, they might not go when their notice expires. Sadly, you can't just go round and kick them out, but have to get a Court Order for possession, which the Court can't refuse if your notice was all in order. They will be ordered to pay your costs, but they will disappear the day before the Court Order expires, leaving you to pay your own legal expenses.
PS I see that the next contributor seems to think that the law in Arizona will apply! Maybe he/she doesn't realise that you are in the UK. That prompts me to point out that Scottish law or Northern Irish law may well differ from that of Enlgand/Wales. If your house is north of the border, or in the Six Counties, ignore everything I've written. |

in AZ, there are provisions specific to leases longer than one year - I would stay away from them!!! You want to keep them under the standard tenant laws of your state.....in AZ, at least, the rules are different, and I wouldn't want to deal w/ them.
I'd keep it standard - they are welcome to sign a second year lease at the close of the first 12 mos. |

All you have to do is have them sign another years lease agreement, that is if you want them to stay another year. If you don't make an inexpensive improvement and raise the rent! |

a renewal lease. |

Whatever is stated on the lease. I wouldn't necessarily change it just because someone has been there for a couple of years. Perhaps you and the tenant should discuss such things since you've been doing business for so long! |

Any agreement you want. Typical is 12 months. I don't hassle with month to month. I make mine sign for a year. |

Your tenancy agreement should be an ongoing month by month agreement. This is fairly standard |

If you're in England, it's usual to have Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement - which can be for 6 months or a year. After the initial period the agreement can be renewed on a six monthly or yearly basis if you & the Tenant wish.
PS An agreement will also include a full inventory of any furniture - this is for the benefit of the Tenant & the Landlord. |

They same agreement should be intact as if it was a one year contract. Every year on the same date, they need to sign a contract for the next year. And it goes on like that until they want to leave. But under normal circumstances they have to stay until that year is up. But I do believe they have to give you at least a months notice before the contract is up if they are going to move. That goes the same for you. Maybe for you it is a few months if you don't want to renew with them. |
