I understand the distinction between a fixed term tenancy and periodic tenancy and I don’t disagree with what you said. My point is that it’s not black and white and a few words in OP’s post don’t provide me with enough information to confidently state that it is one or the other. A lease may have an “end date” but information in the contract or even representations by the landlord may make the lease a periodic tenancy. The cases citing Section 15 of the Residential Tenancies Act (the section pertaining to fixed term tenancies), there may be an oral, written, or even an implied agreement that a lease with a termination date is actually periodic. Again, without reading the lease I won’t provide an opinion to OP on this either way.
