Here it is:
7.1
If the Tenant shall desire to determine the tenancy hereby created at or
at any time after the end of the first nine months thereof and shall give
the Landlord not less than two months previous notice in writing of such
desire and shall up to the time of such determination pay the rent and
observe and perform the agreements and obligations on the Tenant’s part
hereinbefore reserved and contained then immediately on the expiration
of such notice the present tenancy and everything herein contained shall
cease and be void but without prejudice to the rights and remedies of
either party against the other in respect of any antecedent claim or breach
of obligation
7.2
If the Tenant shall determine the tenancy hereby created pursuant to the
provisions of clause 7.1 above then the Tenant shall on demand pay to
the Landlord a proportion of the legal costs licence fees and letting agents
fees incurred by the Landlord in connection with the creation of the letting
such proportion to be a calculation based on the ratio that the unexpired
term of the tenancy bears to the length of the period from the
commencement of the term to the date of which the notice of
determination takes effect
Any rent paid in advance for any period after the expiration of such notice
shall be returned to the Tenant after deduction of any costs referred to

I think that these clauses give the answers:
1. As per 7.1 tenancy will end on 30th June (assuming notice was correctly given) and no rent will be due after that date if T has indeed vacated.
2. As per 7.2, T should pay (if asked) LL's fees pro-rata of the remaining period of the tenancy.
If I were T I would make sure that I do not overpay the rent, and ask LL to see the receipt from the agent (dated from when tenancy started) before paying.0
