Should the owner give a reason to end the lease?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you have a periodic tenancy (i.e. no end date), your landlord can give you 90 days notice in writing  to end the tenancy. They *don’t* have to give reasons.
Landlords can end a tenancy with 42 days notice in writing if they or their family are shifting in, or if they have sold the house to someone with vacant possession (i.e without tenants). In these special situations, the written notice *must* give the reason why they are ending the tenancy. They don’t have to provide further evidence.
If you have a fixed-term tenancy (i.e. with an end date), your landlord doesn’t have to give reasons for refusing to renew it.
