Hello all, I hope this is the best place to post.
Just to set the scene; I live in a lovely flat in London, pay through the nose of course, but its to be expected. I rent my flat through a local small estate agent. They have always been professional, I have never had any cause for concern. There is a maintenance team who fix all the jobs, and I have my deposit in safety scheme so no worries about money.
I have been here for 2 years already, approaching my third. Back in May (5th) I was told via email that they want to offer me a renewal for another year, I said fantastic, please get in touch with new contract, let me know the rent increase and when I have to pay the renewal fee by. I heard nothing back. So on the 27th of that month I emailed again, nothing. I have emailed them again today asking where I stand. According to my contract either party has to give 2 months written notice. That means they have until 1st of July send me over details of my new tenancy. Last year this was sorted by now because they expect you to pay £300 to renew the contract, if they are expecting £300 next week, I would like to know now.
Of course my mind is racing, could they have changed their mind about offering me a new agreement? I am not sure why, as far as I can tell I am a good tenant, never missed any rent payments or anything like that...
so I guess my question is what rights do I have if I still haven't heard from them by 1st July?
Thank you
