I did the same..makes for a very stress-free move!0 -
Cheers for all the assistance above. I notified the letting agent that we intended to move out at the end of the fixed term period (giving them slightly over a month's notice) and they are holding us to the 2-month notice period.
Some have said that we are legally able to move out at the end of the 12 month AST - can anyone provide any more info about this, or do we have to stick to the 2 months notice that is in the contract ? As I said, I'm not trying to get out of the contract early, just would be nice to leave at the end of the fixed period and we are wondering what the actual legal position is.0 -
you are legally allowed to leave on the last day of your fixed term without giving any prior notice. I would go back to the letting agents and inform them of this piece of law. google "tenants rights" for exact wording to quote to them. alternatively just up and leave on the last day without telling them and just make sure the place is spick and span (take photographic evidence). you are after all acting within your rights and there is nothing wrong with that!0

The agent is wrong. Is it a small one shop only agent or is it a nationally known agent e.g. Winkworths?FREEDOM IS NOT FREE0

the clue is in the FIXED TERM - in the AST - you have rented for a specific period and when that period ends, you can move out on the last day - if you stay one day over - you must pay another months rental
agent talking thru their u-know-what

i am a LL of 10 years by the way and you have been advised on this thread by several other landlords also...0 -
Thanks very much. The agent is based in a single county and has several branches. I appreciate the advice.0
