During the Terms of the Agreement a Tenant should not stop paying rent without first taking qualified legal advice. The situation is not clear at the moment on the need for a LL to mitigate their losses in the event of a Tenant seeking to extricate themselves before the end of a Fixed Term.
The OP could always offer to help find some replacement tenants as s/he is the one who wants to break the contract.0 -
Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm not going to stop paying rent, cos i care far too much about my credit rating. I've just put it up on gumtree and had a few replies which is promising.
Just a bit fed up to be honest - i know no one is living there as the ground floor tenants work with me so they keep me up to date with any info.0
