PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

If you've signed a contract you're either going to have to find someone acceptable by the landlord to take over the contract or pay any costs he incurs in finding someone (and or rent until this happens). You won't be seeing your deposit until there's a replacement (or the landlord is a fool).
And yet you saytried to get my ex to dig out the contract but apparently he's going to find a guarantor and take it over.0 -
Sorry things are just a bit up in the air and tough at the moment. Thanks for all advice.0
