About to move out, but also need to sign new tenancy agreement - what should I do?

#9 option 1: The tenant who is leaving will not pay rent after their leaving date. They have given their notice so it would be unreasonable to ask them to anyway.
Who did they give notice to? If they have given notice to the LL then that will end the tenancy for all of you. Striclty, if you stay in occupation after that notice expires and without a new tenancy agreement then there can be harsh penalties (distress for rent - i.e. double rent).0 -

#9 options 2/3: I think this is probably the route I need to go down - tell the landlord that I want it in writing that I can break the contract on one month's notice, and if they don't agree then I will also leave the house in Nov based on the notice given by the other tenant.
As it is a joint tenancy, that means notice has been given to end the (entire) tenancy). For all of you. This is because there is only one tenancy so when notice is given, it ends.0 -
Yes, given notice to the landlord.
Looks like option c would not be a good idea.Note: Unless otherwise stated, my property related posts refer to England & Wales. Please make sure you state if you are discussing Scotland or elsewhere as laws differ.0 -
Or ask for a new 3 month AST?0
