Asked to pay renewal fee 7th June - is this legal

I would go on a rolling contract. That's what we did. A sensible landlord won't ask a good tenant that pays on time and keeps the property in good condition, to move.0

Either in line with whatever was written into the original tenancy agreement, if anything (have you read it?), or by serving a S13 Notice. SeeIf the contract was to roll, how do they implement a rent increase?
* Rent increases: when & how can rent be increased?
As for the renewal fee, again, have you checked the originaltenancy agrement to see if i was written in there? If yes, it can be charged (till 2020). If not, it can't. See
Gov Guidance Notes
As for going periodic, read
