Can someone please advise.
We signed a new 6 months Assured Shorthold Tenancy in February 2012. We have recently found out that the landlord (whos name is on our Tenancy) died in January 2012 (before we signed the agreement). We have not been informed of this through the Estate Agents and we are wondering if this tenancy is still legally valid and binding.
We are looking to move house and asked how we would go about giving notice. This is our 3rd 6 month tenancy agreement and thought that this is now a periodic tenancy but hav been informed this is not the case (very rudely can I add). We have been told we cannot give notice until the end of the 6 months.
Please can someone confirm if this tenancy is still valid with the deceased landlords name on?? We have seen a house we like and do not want to loose it without checking everything. If it is not legally binding, can we then give notice and still receive back the bond and month in advance rent back??0 -
