Moving out notice after rent increase

PRAISETHESUN

There's no obligation to sign a new tenancy agreement as the periodic tenancy you have is legally valid. Politely tell the LL/agent that you do not require a new fixed term contract as you are happy to continue on the periodic tenancy you currently enjoy. 

If the LL wants to increase the rent on your current tenancy, then there is a separate process involving S13 as outlined above. Given they haven't issued it yet, it's likely you will be moved out before any rent increase would be due to take effect anyway.

Sounds very much to me like they're trying to prompt you to give notice and leave rather than going through the palaver of s21. If you've been on a periodic for so long, doubling the rent and offering a new 12 months fixed term seems odd otherwise.

The agency have not sent a S13 notice, they have sent this email: 
Your current tenancy is due to be reviewed on 21st February 2025 and I am writing to inform you that your landlord is offering you a further fixed term of 12 months at a rental of £1800.00 per calendar month. 
Please confirm that you are agreeable by calling me on **********.

You currently have a rolling SPT.

You have been offered a new fixed term tenancy.  You do not have to accept.

Simply respond to thank them for the offer and state that you are not agreeable to the new fixed term rental that has been offered and you will be remaining at the property under the current SPT which continues on current terms.
