http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/...tion/5/enacted means renewal fees are banned for tenancies entered into after 1 June 2019. As you entered into the tenancy before June 2019 the fee is allowed. However that only applies until June 2020 when the fees are banned even on pre June 2019 tenancy agreements. So basically in your case, this year they can charge it, next year they won't be able to.
