How long have you rented the property so far? Do you have a good relationship/on good terms with your LL?

No harm in approaching your landlord, explaining your situation and coming to an agreement. Many landlords would appreciate your openness and may be more accommodating than you might think!

I have been in the property for almost 3 years. I rent through an EA however the landlady visits to do the garden 3 times a year & we have had some nice chats. She has allowed me to decorate when asked & paid for the material without me asking. When I first started renting the property she allowed my Father to move in for a few months which she could have declined according to the TA. I would say we do have a good relationship.

I was considering informing the EA that I would prefer to go onto a rolling contract at the end of this tenancy as I am looking to move. One of the reasons I am moving is because my Dad who lived here for 6 months passed away this February & he left me some money so I would like to use it to buy & a fresh start. The landlady is aware that my Dad passed away. I would say we do have a good relationship.
