Rolling Contract query and Letting Agent fee

Yes but I can never understand this point. The LL doens't want the risk the tenant would leave, so to achieve that the LL kicks the tenant out. It seems really odd to me, unless the LL has specific dates to work to but even then he can't be sure to meet them.OP hasn't mentioned if they even know what the LL wants to happen. If the LL wants a new fixed term agreement rather than the risk OP can leave with just 1 months notice leaving him without a tenant and income then that is his right too.
You may find that the LL, via the LA, will offer a notice to quit to OP if this is the case. Then OP will have to find a far higher admin fee than just £50.0 -
It IS odd. But you do see LL's who think in exactly that way. They want the security of a fixed term and they become very insecure at the thought of letting the tenancy go periodic, but don't bat an eyelid at the tenant moving on. I wonder if Agents tell them porkies that there must be an AST within its term for the LL to be legally protected and to prevent the sky from falling down?Yes but I can never understand this point.
