Periodic tenancies subject to a fetter on the tenant- doctrinal dilemmas?

This article analyses the legal status of periodic tenancies subject to a contractual fetter on the tenant's ability to terminate the tenancy. It considers the following issues: firstly, the significance of the issue where there is a fetter on the tenant; secondly, the problematic purported assimilation of tenancies for uncertain duration and periodic tenancies subject to a fetter; thirdly, the substantive nature of objections to fetters; fourthly, whether the judicial analysis of periodic tenancies is satisfactory; and lastly, the future of periodic tenancies.
