We pay an extortionate amount of rent on a property that had no maintenance done on it for at least 5 years. Last year LL decided not to use a letting agent to manage property anymore and we were to deal with him directly.
Annual tenancy is up for renewal next month so expected to hear from LL about renewing or going onto periodic tenancy soon but get a call from old letting agent instead saying that LL wants to offer a new one year tenancy and has asked them to draw it up only. They will not be managing the property. No mention of any fees. They send it over by email for electronic signing which I do then return, then they respond with completed agreement to which they attach an invoice for £100 for our share of drawing up the tenancy agreement which they want paid within 7 days.
AIBU to think that I didn't engage them to do the work so why should I pay for it and tell them to bog off? This is the LL's issue surely. He could have done it himself?
Concern is that they will withdraw tenancy agreement (although it has been signed by both parties and I have a copy).
