Verbal agreement of notice renewal

Letting agents hate periodic tenancies. They want renewal fees for fixed terms. So they are offering a new contract (renewal fee for them) or saying get out (S21). Looks to me like they are deliberately excluding periodic as an option. Whether this is with the landlords agreement is anyones guess.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

""
In addition to this funds from the deposit cannot be claimed via TDS for rent the tenant owes""
i do not believe this to be true ... deposits are taken to pay for any breach of the tenancy - non-payment of rent, or insufficient notice (thus depriving the landlord of rent) are breaches of the agreement in my view.0 -
The tenant's agreement was to finish on a set date.
There are two documents in existence:
- S21, telling tenant to move out. Signed, legal, properly issued.
- A new lease. Unsigned.
If the tenant leaves on the last day of their current contract, without giving any notice, there's no case to answer. They moved out as per the S21, there's no agreement they would stay on. They gave 10 days' notice, they could legally have given none.
Phone them and find out why and if it's irreversible. It might be they looked around and found another one cheaper, or nearer to work. But by now they will have signed/handed over a deposit for their next property so it's unlikely you can reverse their decision.0
