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.

    The general answer is no, you are still bound to give the correct notice under the break clause unless your LL agrees otherwise.

    Failure to comply with a Repairs Notice is a criminal offence on your LL's part: you should have reported the LL when the deadline of the work to be completed had passed.

    Remember that when you do go you are obliged to leave the property in the same condition as when originally let to you, save for fair wear and tear. Was an inventory completed at the start & signed by both parties?

    You may want to try to safeguard the return of your tenancy deposit - has your own lifestyle contributed towards the black mould? Do you heat/air the property and keep lids on pans/open windows when cooking or showering etc? Haringey Council have a good info sheet on condensation/mould - you may want to google it.
