In what way does the LL deserve that to happen? My reaction would be insist your DD sees her full lease period out.

The whole issue seems to be blown out of all proportion and certainly isn't the current LL's problem to deal with.

But if she wants to end her tenancy early then it's her responsibility to find a replacement tenant, not the LL's.

Needs must and all that, DD doesn't deserve to pay extortionate rent for a flat that is compromising her health and for neither LL's to do anything about it until the police got involved.

Her agent also said he'd start the ball rolling looking for a new tenant when she first complained about it and has done nothing, obviously fobbing her off knowing they will have to pay then rent until the end of June.

Ok I'll word it differently, DD would like to be kept up to date with developments in an effort bring this situation to a speedy conclusion, hence I recommended she ring the LL agent every day to see if they've had any success finding a new tenant, and to inform them of any success, or not, that she's had finding a new tenant.

This approach would utterly alienate me as a LL and I would in no way be brow beaten into actively supporting early release from lease. I think your advice is really poor Avstar

Possibly. If she wants to end the tenancy earlier than the tenancy agreement permits, she needs to come to an agreement (in writing) with the LL. The LL can refuse the request or accept it with any terms they want, including finding a suitable new tenant. But there are no hard and fast rules.

Is she dealing with the LL or just the agent?

That's what I meant, if the Landlord has agreed to end the tenancy early on the condition that she finds a replacement tenant than it's totally up to her to find the replacement. I'm sure it makes no difference to the LL whether a new tenant takes over now or if the OP's daughter stays for a few months, just as long as the rent is paid.
OP seems to expect the Landlord to agree to her daughter ending the tenancy and do the work of finding a new tenant, which IMO is too much to ask.

Oh but I wish I had the money to sort this out LessonLearned I've offered what I can but I don't have a spare £1.5k which it would cost in deposit, fees and months rent upfront at least. They're welcome to stay at ours and is staying over on occasions but they need to be near their place of work as they do shifts and her BF doesn't drive.

I can appreciate your delemna, yes you would need to find both a deposit and would end Up paying rent twice over. Can their employers give them an advance on their salary in the form of a loan.

Would a flat with parents who are shift workers and who themselves will perhaps need to sleep at different times be the ideal family home anyway. Would a small terraced house be more baby friendly.

What other options are there.. Is staying with you absolutely out of the question, can they change their shift patterns for a while.

Has you DD checked with her medical team to see if second hand canabis smoke does present a threat To her baby and if so how severe is that threat.

Would an air purifying unit be of any use.

The landlord may have a list of would be tenants and finding a replacement might be quite easy. My sons girls landlord found another tenant within a week. Have you managed to speak to the landlord, head to head or is it all done through the agents. Agents often dont relay everything back to,the landlord. How much does he know about the situation.
