Law firm, R. James Hutcheon Solicitors have launched an 'Information Request' to private landlords that believe they have been charged disproportionate and unreasonable fees in respect of tenants renewing tenancy agreements with landlords. This practice has already been denounced by the National Landlords Association (NLA) and BBC Watchdog who have called for tenancy renewal fees to be scrapped.

Hutcheons Solicitors are asking private landlords to contact them if they feel they have been unfairly charged by a letting agency with respect to tenancy renewal terms in contracts.
