In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Nonsense. That is utterly ridiculous. The tenant is 100% in the wrong here and in absolutely no way should the landlord be offering the tenant money for breaching the tenancy agreement!
Please ignore this advice, op. Some people on this board are very pro-tenant, anti-landlord at times.
I would suggest this link as a useful forum for you to check out landlord stuff on - http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/forums/

My incredulity wasn't aimed at you, if it came across that way - simply at how it seems that landlords are required to do whatever it takes to keep relations with their tenants sweet, even if the tenants were the ones that soured it in the first place.0
