Estate Agents Admin Fees
22 Answers
The renewal of lease on my lovely little flat is up for renewal in, November. I received an email, from the estate agents today, asking me if I wanted to renew it. I do.
They are also charging me £120 for "admin." This has come as a bit of a shock as I live on a pension.
What would the affect be on my tenancy if I refused to pay this?

f you have an assured shorthold tenancy, you're usually committed to renting the property for six months or a year.
Before this time is up, you need to decide what to do next. You could:
1. sign a new fixed-term tenancy agreement
2. do nothing and automatically move to a month-to-month tenancy – also known as a periodic or rolling tenancy
3. tell your landlord that you're going to move out at the end of your contract
