    First of all, thank you very much for all the support!! I “won”!

    I am happy with what he answered, but now he says 15th of September (the end date is 19th) why is he pushing it early now? Funnily… to end the contract on the 15th of September, in that case, yes!, we would have to give 2-month notice…

    Can I insist that the end date is 19th of September, or should I be happy with what I achieved?


    His reply:




    The contracted signed between yourselves and us does state that you need to give 2 months’ notice to terminate the tenancy.

    Whether or not that clause is enforceable in court and in either parties best interest is debatable. For the landlord September is a better time to re-let the property than October and I assume that you have something lined up for in September. As such we will take your notice to end the tenancy on the 15th of September.

    Lilla and Marissa – our letting agent and lettings administrator are going to begin re-marketing the property and will be in touch with you directly in due course for viewings.

    I have attached a moving out document for your records. We recommend you follow this to ensure that we are able to complete the deposit refund as quickly as possible. We will need a forwarding address as well as your utility providers.

    Would you also like to book a pre-check out inspection where either party can make any points in advance of you vacating (generally done around 2 weeks prior to vacate).

    they don't. the rest sounds reasonable.


    if you need it until the 19th you can stay on, they cannot remove you.
