I believe that, like employment or insurance, you have to disclose an unspent conviction if asked.
My contract predated my conviction and has been renewed by extension each year. It does not mention convictions, so I haven't brought it up, but it also means that I have not asked for terms to be varied as that would require a new contract, and as has been mentioned, some boilerplate contracts and letting agencies ask I've just agreed to an extension that will take me beyond the notification requirements.
You also need to bear in mind that if you are in any sort of shared accommodation that the PPU will visit and your fellow tenants will know all about it.
