I've had a quick scan of the Shelter site, it says...

"If one tenant wants to end the tenancy, they will need to get the other joint tenants' permission first, because this will end the tenancy for everyone. Your landlord should make sure that everyone has given their permission before agreeing to end the tenancy, although in practice this may not happen."

This seems somewhat contradictory, also, I cannot see how this is possibly fair.

If the other tenant does not agree, then what, I am expected to live in the property forever?

I'll contact Shelter on Monday for advice, however, I would be very grateful if anyone with experience or knowledge of this area can confirm that if I give notice on this Short Assured Tenancy (which has now lapsed, and is on a rolling basis) that this notice applies to both tenants whether the other tenant gives 'permission' or not.
