    I was under the impression you were renting. So you actually own it? Can you clarify? Ta.
    From the original post in the OP's thread from two years ago...

    I've complained to my private landlord
    OP - whether anybody else wants to move in is not your problem. Simply give your month's notice, and find somewhere else to go to.

    I'm assuming you haven't been so daft as to continually sign new fixed-period tenancies? If you have, then you'll need to wait for the current one to expire.

    PLEASE assure us that you haven't bought the sodding flat off your landlord in the time since that thread...?
    They threw me with this line: "We are looking at moving but each time someone comes to look at the flat, they take one whiff and that's it."

    What's that got to do with anything if they're renting? 
    I assume there's a clause in the tenancy agreement prohibiting the tenant from ending the tenancy until they've found a replacement tenant whom eets all the landlord's criteria........

    Thought they'd been they're longer as someone said they first posted about this 18 months ago, but of course you're right if they're looking to leave early after signing another contract. Surely they can't be forced to find a replacement tenant if they're on a rolling contract. Or can they? Ta.

    GC didn't say it was an enforceable clause... And, of course, the OP may be one of those tenants who has been hoodwinked into thinking they have to always be in a newly signed fixed-period.
