In the UK it is to the landlord and their agent's benefit to repeatedly terminate your 12 months (minus 1 day) home lease, and have you sign a new one, with arrangement fees of course.
That's to make sure it is classed as a short term tenancy, less than 12 months, even if you live there for a decade.
Full legal tenancy rights don't kick in unless you have a lease longer than 12 months. As a result, I've never heard of anyone being offered such a lease.
Having an "auto-renewing clause" in an existing tenancy would defeat that benefit to the landlord. You'd better read the terms on the new lease each time, just in case something changed. But you can use your choice of "diff" tool; it's probably the same as the previous time, including typos.
(Commercial (business) leases are the opposite. Commercial landlords often want to offer only long leases (say 5 or more years), because that arrangement gives them strong rights to be paid for the entire term, no matter if the business wants to leave.)
