Thanks

    no idea - but it sounds like a fee that a letting agent might charge you to prepare a new tenancy agreement after the first one has expired.

    Probobly. In which case, avoid paying it by letting your initial (6 month?) fixed term end and automatically turn into a periodic tenancy. No need to sign a new agreement.

    if you do sign a new agreement, you have security of tenure for the period signed for

    if you let it run on without signing a new agreement, the LL can give you two months notice at any time, adn you can give the LL one months notice at any time

    it all depends on what your priorities are

    A Renewal Tenancy Agreement will be the replacement agreement for when your initial fixed term agreement funs out.

    You don't have to sign another fixed term but bear in mind that 1 months notice is not a lot of time to get another tenant to pay the rent. With another fixed term of 6/12/18 months or whatever you have security of income for that period.
