    For your third point its what I thought till I read ground 12 of Section 8 of the housing act which says that if am in breach of the tenancy agreement the landlord only needs to give me 2 weeks notice in order to have me evicted.
    As I've stated and two others have also made the point it is very hard to evict a tenant who is in their fixed term and pays the rent.

    I know people who have complained consistently about tenants who have broken both their tenancy agreements and in turn the lease.

    Leases have lots of clauses which are normally written explicitly into the tenancy agreement, or the tenancy agreement mirrors the clauses.

    The freeholder and local council have been involved in the issues but due to the costs involved and the fact that courts tend to give tenants the benefit of the doubt, the only time the landlord has been able to get rid of the tenant is when the tenancy agreement is up for renewal.

    The end of the fixed term is in 11 months so no problems there
    Check your tenancy agreement doesn't have a break clause where either party can give notice.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Because that would be too sensible.

    I just found out that its a lease restriction that you can't have a dish and the guy on the phone says that the contract is irrelevant. Is there a way around this? If i could contact the lease holder? Who is the person who can give me the exception?

    Unfortunately this isn't the case with my tenancy agreement
