I'm confused aswell. As I understand it we are welcome to stay but they will not issue us a new contract.
It makes me feel very uncomfortable. We have an awful reationship with the LA and the change of heart was as a result of a letter I sent directly to the LL. Its as if the LA want to be able to get rid of us as and when they see fit.0 -

This was discussed "over at the other place": While some agents do make tenants sign their T&Cs it has no binding value as T is not in a business relation with LA. LA's T&Cs are between him and LL.theartfullodger wrote: »and also charges if contract made direct with LL not through LA, and LA then pursuing T for those charges.
If T were to pay up in such case, I'd say they deserved it.

That's different.
In such cases the fees are not imposed on T by LA as T has agreed to pay LL's fees.
That said, as T I would only pay according to the invoice LA issued to LL.0 -
Of course they do. They will charge the landlord fees for finding them new tenants, plus a mark-up on the credit-referencing charges, drawing up a new tenancy agreement etcetera etcetera.
If your landlord has confirmed that they do not want the LA to enforce the S21 what makes you think that the LA will go ahead and do it anyway? Have you received any assurances from your landlord in writing?0 -
It seems the refusal was because they thought I was making it up that it was required.
After speaking to their legal department they have accertained we do in fact need a new tenancy.0 -

On the other hand, as the tenancy agreement needs not be in writing, I would think that a document from the landlord making clear that he has in fact granted you a new tenancy would suffice.
I'm no legal expert, though.0
