Error in AST contract

Isn't that the case once it's Periodic?DVardysShadow wrote: »Yes. Better to rely on things it says clearly than to wriggle on tpyos.
Bear in mind that if the tenancy is on a Joint and Several basis, when you give notice, you will have given notice for all the other tenants. You should alert them to this so they can make their own arrangements with the landlord.
During the FT I thought all joint tenants had to sign. Or is my brain befuddled and got it the wrong way round...0 -
All the other tenants moved in at different times. It is a joint contract and the other tenants names aren't on my copy anywhere but there are spaces for other names. The other tenants have all got their own copies of the contract with their own moving in dates and we pay our rent seperately directly to the LL.

Definitely just one in periodic - you might be right about during the fixed period. But then there may be some scope for wriggling if the tenancy agreement did not at least specify all of the other tenants - if OP signed his copy alone and there were 5 blank spaces rather than the names and spaces, it could prove rather hard for the Landlord to actually hold the tenancy to be Joint and Several. Primarily because the obligations of Joint and Several are quite onerous such that it would be unreasonable to interpret names into a blank J&S agreement.Isn't that the case once it's Periodic?

Did any of them move in or sign after your signing date? Did you know who they all were when you signed? If any signed after you did you have any option to refuse them?robinson79 wrote: »All the other tenants moved in at different times.

Yes to all! Basically when anyone new moved in we showed them round and then gave feedback to the LL. Apart from the last time when a friend of the one I dislike moved in to replace a guy who was only here a couple of months.Saving for a deposit: £11,000 / £50,000 (22%)0 -
More difficult to say it is individual rather than J&S if you had the option to refuse any of them. But you say one guy left? How did he leave?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

Not sure about the ins and outs, I only found out he was moving out at quite short notice and then the friend of the one I don't like moved in. But he was only here about 3-4 months.Saving for a deposit: £11,000 / £50,000 (22%)0 -
Sounds increasingly like each tenant has an individual contract.
So OP can activate his break clause on his tenancy without impacting the others.0
