Any landlords here?
 
When my partner came off maternity pay her wages dipped.

Her wages pay the rent while mine pay the bills. As my wages had already gone out I could not make up the rest of the rent without going into our food and travel money.

I rang up the landlord and accepted £400 out of £475 we normally pay. Our rent pays the mortgage so he got charged. As a thank you gesture for helping us out with the rent and just letting out the house the following week we paid him £105. The remaining of the rent and £30 to cover the charge he got, I know we was liable for it but I think he was really happy about it.

This is our only problem we had since August 06. Our lease is up in February 07 and I am hoping he will offer us a 12 month lease now

Do any other landlords think I will be ok to get a new tenancy agreement?

Almost certainly.
It is alot easier to extend an existing good tenant than find a new tenant.
He may try to increase the rent (I know I would) but in that situation I would prefer to keep the sitting tenant.

No problem,,the housing market is saturated with properties to let-especially those who have jumped on the ever growing buy to let band wagon.

On the other hand the cost of moving your stuff isn't small, plus all the other hassle. If you can stay put, it's often preferred.

Try asking the landlord, theyre the only ones who are going to know.

Im sure they would prefer someone with a good track record that they have been doing business with rather than a newcomer

As long as you can show him that you can make your payments without further issue then there is no reason why he shouldn't be happy to continue your tenancy agreement.

Void Periods (when property empty with no income) is what every landlord hates, unless he is planning to sell the house or something then you should expect a renewal. If he tries to raise the rent and you say no he will more then likely back down as not raising the rent but avoiding a void period will be less costly.
