yeh we paid on the 1st of each month

So, if by assumption, your tenancy ran monthly from 1st of the month, you needed to give valid written notice on or before the 1st, to leave at the end of that month. If you chose to leave earlier than the expiry date of the notice, then you still pay the entire rent to the end of the notice period.

You can't just pick a random date to give a month's notice, it must align with the tenancy periods!

Thems the rules - monthly notice runs from period start to end date of that month, ie your notice took effect from 1st June (not the day you gave it), and ran for a month to end of June, regardless of when you chose to move out, so agent is right - pay up or risk CCJ against you!

You should pay it as you owe it. If you don't you will risk your financial reputation which could cost you a lot more in the long run. You should have given notice on May 1st.

We didnt know we were moving then , we found a house, we had to move quickly to secure it.

Having to pay two lots of rent for a period is one of the costs of moing to the new place. Your cost not your old landlords.

This has got to be a troll post, noone is this stupid.

Until you return all the keys, you have not surrendered the property. Wind the landlord up with this attitude and you'll find yourself in court owing months of rent.

Dear Ford,

I can confirm that I am still in possession of the Mondeo that I have leased from you, however as I am now driving a Mercedes SLS I do not believe it is fair that I continue to pay you for the Mondeo lease, I'm sure you can understand that although I remain in possession -- which means you don't have the car and cannot lease it to anyone else -- I'm not driving it so it's unfair I have to pay for it.

I will return the car to you at my convenience.

Yours Unfaithfully,

Have you got a deposit to get back? They may need to deduct for replacing locks and keys if you don't return the keys. I'd return the keys and pay what they ask for ASAP if I were you. You may end up having to pay for all of June if you aren't careful they sound like they are being reasonable only asking for £234.

Just in case this isn't a wind-up: the LL is being extremely reasonable by only asking for June's rent pro-rata until you return all the keys and surrender the property! He could legally have insisted that you pay ALL the rent for June, ie the full £595. If you didn't want to pay rent for June then you should have given notice no later than May 1st, and you'd have had to surrender the property on May 31st at the latest (and this includes handing back the keys, duh). Even if you had given the correct notice, staying on for even a day into the next tenancy period would have made you liable for all the rent for June. Given that you still haven't surrendered the property on the 18th of the month you really are taking the pi$$.

Out of interest: do you have it in writing that he agreed to early surrender on the 12th? Otherwise I suggest that you stop messing him about or you'll have to cough up the full £595, which he's entitled to by law.

going by the reaction of the OP to his previous threads, then we can expect the OP to do exactly what he wants to do and ignore anything he doesn't want to hear

I'm sure your LL will delight in seeing you in court if you continue in the same vein you have shown previously
