My agency said the Renters rights act does not modify my contract
My landlord's agency sent me the re renters rights act information sheet but in the email it clarified:
"The Information Sheet is provided for information purposes only and does not replace, vary, or amend the terms of your tenancy agreement. Your tenancy agreement remains the primary document governing the terms of your occupation of the property.".
Am I right to say that it's not true? I have a fixed term contract with a rent increase clause. Both things should automatically not be true anymore?
Is there any risk in not pointing out it? E.g. in the future they could say I did not contest their text
I think they probably do it for people that don't know their rights, but just wanted to be safe.
Thanks!
