Ending a tenancy? Buying

SassySaver88

I doubt she will remarket it, she couldnt look after us and we are good tenants.
Guessing she will just sell up or let it to her kids

She... had... forgotten she was renting out a house!?

There are no words for how my mind is boggling right now.

Might I suggest a pinch of salt?

We signed a long term agreement as it suited at the time instead of a rolling contract when we could be made to move out at the drop of a hat.
Been saving for months and finally got enough for our deposit now, we werent even thinking about buying a home 2 years ago but buying means we can move closer to hubbys work so maybe unforeseen?
Would it be the same if we had to find a new tenancy closer to his work??

I do need to talk to them but not sure what to say exactly, we will be moving and im happy to continue to pay rent untill then as well as give up my deposit but not sure when that will be.

Solictors say around 4-6 weeks possibly more.

so you were happy to have 5 years tenancy if it "protected" you form eviction but now your circumstances have changed you want to ignore what you yourself originally asked for and expect the LL to comply with your new desire to leave after only 2 years?

your first post explains your position:
- there is no break clause you can use as that appears to address only forced circumstances (loss of job etc)
- there is an implication that mutual agreement is possible as a means to ending early
- there is an implication that mutual agreement must include a new tenant being available to (immediately) replace you


go talk to the LL and pay rent until a new tenant is found

Landlords havent been the best...
Im actually quite sad that we've been treated as we have...
Been to professionals several times over how the LL has treated us previously during this new tenancy.
Left in winter with no heating
Roof coming in before birth of child and told to deal with it ourselves.
Our neighbours are quite noisey too

and an online tenancy pack
Because we hardly speak shes completely forgotten about us which technically speaks volumes

im really glad we havent got to rent again

two wrongs do not make a right

you want to break a 5 year contract that you yourself asked for in the first place. You have no rights under which to do so

your LL seems to be wiling to do so under a mutual agreement

therefore you have been given a huge benefit by your LL so your comment is just ungracious one sided "me, me, me"

Spoke to solictor about tenancy
Tenancy agreement is void as contract is over 3 years and hasnt been signed as a deed or witnessed.

Forwarded details on to LL
It will be treated as a month by month rolling contract so me giving a months notice will stand.

I guess it was just another way of them not bothering to get a proper deed drawn up and weve just been forgotten
Lets hope they treat their next tenants better

Ah! Good advice.

I forgot the 3 year rule....

That's the trouble with amateurs on the internet!

I wonder if she protected your deposit...?

You sound incredibly self absorbed. You seem to have forgotten that the agreement was drawn because YOU wanted it for 5 years not them. They have agreed for you to go because clearly it wasn't an issue for them, so why are you acting all resentful?

Also, you started your thread saying that you had been left alone all this time and it suited you and suddenly they are the worse LL in the world. I very much doubt they 'forgotten' you if you've been paying rent.
