    Presumably the executor.
    In this case the agent must have someone to refer to if they have to make decisions regarding repairs etc that they are not authorised to decide for themselves.
    But this makes little difference to the original question 'can I break the tenancy agreement without penalty'-the answer is no.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    The lack of security may be the reason for the repeated theft. Ask your insurers if they cover damage to the tank in future theft attempts.
    How often is the tank filled?. Once refilled surround it with noisy to remove junk or fit alarms to the tank or access gates.
    A few of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=alarm+padlock&_sop=15 hidden on the access route or to whatever covers you put on the tank may help

    I could presume the same, hence why I asked. Yes he can if the executor agrees, it's up to them

    Firstly our LL is dead and the house is in trust to the agent so contactibg the LL directly os out of the question.

    The LL is the deceased person's estate, as represented by their executor. The executor should be acting in the best interests of the estate, and therefore should be interested in protecting assets like the property you're renting in much the same way as the original LL would have been interested in protecting their own property.

    You should still be able to contact this person directly to make the suggestion, and if they say "no" then it's only cost you the price of a stamp.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
