I wonder if OP will still agree all 4 girls must pay rent for the remainder of their contract if his daughter is kicked out for bullying but still liable for the whole year's rent

The timing is also nice, anti-bullying week

Given the response from the college it sounds like the 'bullying' is not being taken very seriously.

There are disciplinary procedures in place to deal with bullying.


There is no standing to get involved in a 3rd party contract.


You're speculating.

Well, I'm providing a possible alternative view of the situation. I'm not suggesting that this is true because I don't know. I am speculating that such a scenario is possible. In the real grown up world it is not unusual for a deal to avoid disciplinary action being done.
And I am suggesting that certain responders should try to engage their brains before jumping to conclusions and suggesting courses of action that may make the OP look like an idiot.

It's certainly possible, but a 'deal' is documented and all parties walk away happy.


Clearly this is not a 'deal'. If it was I doubt the OPs DD would be complaining now.

It's all very well people saying 'find another tenant asap' but this is two months into the academic year. There aren't going to be many students looking for accommodation. And even fewer looking for a place where the previous tenant was allegedly bullied into leaving.

The DD may see the deal as reasonable in reality. But complaining to her parents to save face.
All we know is that the OP isn't happy with it. But the OP wasn't party to the deal.

I really do think it is time to draw a line under this one - but, just for the record:

With regards to the allegations of bullying - I am very confident that my daughter is being honest with me, she is not the bullying type and has been the victim of bullies in the past.

The young lady claiming the other three have bullied her is being rather economical with the truth - I have seen several text message, and facebook message, threads she has sent to my daughter that the average person would say show that SHE was being the bully, not my daughter - and they are complete threads without any deletions or manipulation. Messages sent to one of the other girls are apparently much worse;

I have been on the phone to my daughter and heard the young lady verbally abusing one of the other girls (Regional accents give the game away as to who was speaking);

With regards to the "deal", no, I am not happy with it, and neither is my daughter - why should she be? She signed a tenancy agreement for an agreed rental payment. Why should she be willing to pay more because one of the girls wants, for whatever reason, to move out?

Can we end this one and move on now?

Hope it works out, but remember once it's on here, it's open for debate. So whilst you have got the information you need, the thread may continue as debate rages.


If nothing else though, do come back with an update

Not until I get her whatsapp if she's studying in the Midlands

Don't take this the wrong way but parents are mostly biased to their children and children don't always tell their parents everything.

Errr... you are missing the (legal) point:

The tenancy agreement she signed made her jointly and severally liable for the full rent for the property - not just for her 1/4 share.

She signed that legally binding agreement. If one joint tenant, for whatever reason (moved out, run out of money, whatever) fails to pay her 'share', your daughter (along with the others) is legally responsible for ensuring the landlord receives the full rent for the property.

If he does not, your daughter is in rent arrears.
