Just a little update...
Last night I emailed my LA explaining to them that I had tried to get in touch with them before the fixed term contract ended as I wanted to discuss the possibility of a periodic tenancy and my email was ignored. I said that as we are now legally on a period tenancy we wanted to stay on one and I was more than willing to get in touch with the landlord and discuss it with him.
Got a reply at 9.06am to say they had spoken to the landlord who was happy with a periodic tenancy...!
Think this is going to keep me amused for the rest of the day!
Ha, brilliant!
As usual they go for the hard line/bordering scare tactics to try and get people to back down and then when they realise the tenants understand a little bit a bout tenancies they throw in the towel!

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I am in a similar position, except that the LA is now threatening legal action to reclaim the fees for sending a 2 page change to periodic tenancy. Should I contact the LL and see what they say? I object to a £66 charge simply to roll things over!0

Best starting your own thread for more replies, as people will only read the first post and answer this.0 -

So did you sign a new (periodic) tenancy or just do nothing and let it roll automatically?
Note NOTHING needs to be done by the LA for a fixed term agreement roll into a SPT or CPT under the same terms as the original agreement except. Then nothing to sign and no fee as this happens automatically.
However if you were informed of the fee to sign a new periodic tenancy was £66 and you then signed a new periodic tenancy, then you implicitly agreed to the fee and must pay £66.0 -
I haven't signed anything, thanks for the information!0
