End of tenancy fees
Comments

My mistake, it was a renewal agreement. I just thought they may take the fee alongside that months rent.
I was so sure it would change to a rolling contract/or I could just leave but the way the letter is worded... "your tenancy will not end without any action taken by you", "you must give us notice" "we will renew and a fee will be charged" had me worried, it seemed I was going to be charged £40 if I left but charged £50 if I wanted to stay.

Are you paying rent through direct debit?
If you do that's a bad idea and I would consider cancelling it and setting up a standing order instead.
If you don't they obviously can't change at will the amount you pay.0 -
I pay by standing order so you're quite right, they couldn't take it
I shall stop worrying about it now!0 -
I've just dug out my original agreement, it mentions in there charging me to extend (a different price to the letter) but I shall carry on with a rolling contract.
That is interesting, the tenancy agreement is between 2 parties, you and the landlord. The agent may have signed it, but they did so on the landlords behalf. Therefore any terms in the tenancy agreement are between the tenant and landlord and as such the clause regarding fees (which are for the benefit of the agent who is not party to the agreement) is surely unenforceable.Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.0 -

I think it would depends on the wording. I could be an agreement that tenant pays the fees that the agent would charge the landlord.0
