    Shows how much you EA knows about UK tenancy law then:rotfl::rotfl:

    No incoming inventory means that it is extremely difficult for them to deduct anything from the deposit because they cannot prove you caused the damage.

    Do leave the place basically clean and as you found it though.

    Check here https://www.gov.uk/tenancy-deposit-protection

    This is important because it affects whether the LL can even send you an S21.

    Sorry.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    You are contractually bound to pay the rent until the end of the contract, even if you move out.

    Or are you worried about being evicted during the tenancy?

    Just pay your rent every month in full.

    Lodger pays you.

    They cannot evict you until the end of the 12 months unless you stop paying rent.

    Don't even mention the lodger to the EA.

    And perhaps change the lock if you feel they might snoop...

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
