As the EAs refused to go on a rolling contract and we didnt want to rock the boat of being evicted (and it was hard to calculate when we’d complete on our new house), we agreed to another 3 month fixed contract. We want to leave around 6 weeks early (give or take) and for that luxury we have to pay 3 weeks rent, between re letting fees and a 10 day “void” period. Probably dont have any option but to pay, but it seems abusive.
