Student tenancy agreement - rolling contract?

As said, not your tenancy, you have no authority (I assume..) to act on behalf of your child.Thanks all. Yes, it is a sole tenancy agreement. What you have said clarified what I thought. I will be ringing the agent this afternoon and querying the payment of any new fee. I'll be nice as pie of course!! If I can get him on to a 12 month contract without any extra payment I would be very happy and I on't see why the landlord wouldn't. It'll be the agent that loses out.
Child's best option is to do nothing, not reply, not respond: That will delay further any eviction action by landlord0 -

He is an adult is he not and at some point you have to stop doing everything for him? It'll be a good life lesson for him and secondly legally they don't have to deal with you at all and to be in full compliance with data protection laws cannot even confirm if your son is signed up with them.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Sounds a bit as if the new tenancy they plan to issue may be a joint and several one with all 4 names on it.It may not be my tenancy but guess who's paying for it?! My son has asked me to sort it out so I'm happy to help. I spoke to the agent today who said that, as one of the 4 tenants has left they have to issue a new yearly contract to all of the rest which I assume is nonsense as they are all on individual contracts. However, to my surprise he said that there would be no charge for the new contract which is not what they said when they first spoke to my son. If that's the case, I don't see any reason not to go with the new contract.
This may not be a bad thing, but it does extend (all) their liabilities. ie if one fails to pay their share of the rent, the others are legally liable for it.0
