Break Clause question

Hi,
I am re-reading my Tenancy Agreement and unsure on the wording of the Tenancy Agreement -
'Any time after 13 months of the initial fixed term of this tenancy (or after a similar period following a fixed term extension to the original tenancy) the Tenant may invoke this break clause by providing a minimum of two months written notice to the Landlord (such notice to expire on the last day of a rental period of the tenancy).'
When I spoke to the Estate Agent initially, I was told this meant that we would be able to move out within 13 months (24 months full contract) but after reading some other posts, this quote makes me think it will be 15 months from the start date (13 months then the 2 month notice can be made)?
Thanks for the help,
TJ

At month 11 you can give 2 months notice you wish to invoke the break clause.
The clause won't be invoked - put into effect - until month 13, at which point the tenancy will be broken/ended.That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

Thanks so much for clearing that up. Appreciate it,
