Leaving a joint tenancy agreement - who is liable for the rent?

Maybe the same should apply to you, an AST where more than one person is named is joint and several, a shorthold tenancy is not.
Tenany contacts are done on rent months not a calender month so yes rent days are relevant especially when serving notice. As I deal with these issues on a daily basis and have done so for nearly 20 years I think I have somewhat of an understanding of the legal requirements when it comes to rentingThis is a system account and does not represent a real person.

There was no debate by G_M about whether both were liable?
The point is, rent payment dates are not necessarily the same are the date the tenancy started.
Tenancies are done on rental periods, not rentals months. Eg weekly, 4 weekly rent schedules are common.
And... Perhaps not as much as you thought. 20 years experience, does not mean you're right. You could get it wrong for 20 years and still have experience. - not saying you do, but your post was inaccurate.0 -

They exist. So your post was inaccurate. - only slightly though, 9 out of 10 times you are correct that it is a month0 -
Just to point out that the notice must indeed be in writing.
Moreover, there is merit in talking about move in date as opposed to contract date as, more often than not, the tenancy starts on the moving date while the contract date is earlier.
Of course, relevant periods are the tenancy periods.
You can continue arguing the rest
